Hi Daniel, I found your blog through seomoz.org. I’m a frequent visitor there. I was just browsing there when I came across one of your comment about Google pagerank. You said that computer.org pagerank went down from 9 to 6. You can drop by my cubicle anytime LOL. You have a beautiful blog.

There are lots of FREE directory templates available online. Though, I don’t use commercial or free pre-made directory template. I built my own from scratch because it gives me flexibility. Check out my template site at http://www.ex-designz.net/template/default.asp

yea i don’t think wordpress would work out for what i need. i’ll check out sourceforge but i’m not too familiar with the site since i’m not a programmer, but i’ll try! thanks, jez!

Hey Danielle,

I don’t envy you. Just testing and choosing a directory template is a daunting task in itself! I have never used any of these but did see some good comments on them from others. I checked them out quickly and thought you might be interested in testing them.

Free Ones

Hope this can help in your due diligence. Good luck!

Hi Danielle,

No good asking for templates until you have the software sorted out… I don’t think wordpress is the way to go for this kind of site.

A simple way would be to use media wiki… which I used for spamipedia.org (same as million x wiki’s) or trawl sourceforge to see if there is any specific directory software… or get some written on elance or getafreelancer…
