Website Publishers

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good website publishers that will buy educational websites for a set amount of pay, for learning purposes. I remember a long time ago in school, our class sold a website to an organization that publishes educational content, for around $700. I have a Virtual Learning Environment that I was considering selling off for a much lower price. Ads could be placed on it, by that publisher, that would most likely pay off the price quite quickly. However, I don't have the time to host it myself and I love the sound of upfront cash.

I hate to bump this. But it was on the second page and The Lounge doesn't raise your post count anyways.

My question's still in the air.

It's still schlocky practice. The probability is 92.4 % that if someone wanted to comment, they would have.

Well, considering there were less than 40 views...? That leaves at least 50 regulars who did not ever open my thread. Perhaps that was because it had my name stamped on it.

Could be because it was Sunday . I spent 12 hours on a program yesterday, so I must have popped in 87.5 times for a break. Regardless of its page position, it should remain in their "new posts" list until viewed.

Long answer: What makes yours better than some of the free stuff out there?

Short answer: Moodle.

Ooble, the reason it's better is because publishers can own it and use it to develop profit for themselves. I've seen it happen.

LOL 87.5 times is a lot. I usually check pfo every hour when I'm at work, on average it takes me 15 minutes to read through and reply to the threads I find interesting, then I go to get something to drink, or take a walk about 10 minutes, I look outside for 5 minutes, so my eyes don't hurt from looking at the computer screen so much, and so I don't get RSI (if that would even affect me). So that leaves 30 effective minutes for me to do something useful.

Anyway, my question was: what program did you work on?
