Yes, it works fine now.
For the name, I suggest either MyLinuxBox.com or LinuxCare.net

So how can i get to your forum ? 
Also instead of listing distros you could add a link to distrowatch ...

[Hard_ROCKER]

rss feed from distrowatch.com was an even better idea !

The Forum has not been created yet, thats the point of the blog, to get the public's attention and it will be used as a fundraiser to cover all starting expenses. By the way, what do you think for the domain name ?
Thanks

to get the public's attention and it will be used as a fundraiser to cover all starting expenses.

Why do you need funds to start a website and/or a blog when there are many free hosts available?
Google is just one. Runboard offers free forums ( http://com2.runboard.com/bbob3160theforum )
It does take a lot of time and dedication but money is usually the smallest ingredient.

To buy the domain name,as in not a free one 
To make it easier to rember and catchy

Hello Al968 !

Ok i understand now. The domain name is catchy i like it ! Don't change it ! A small suggestion for your blog: Can you change the "visited links" color in your distrowatch.com news section from that dark grey to something brighter ? They are not very visible because the background color is also pretty dark:



See what i mean ? The upper links(in red) are not yet visited links and the lower ones(in dark grey) are already visited links ...

Listen i am no expert linux hAx0r or anything like that but i am willing to share the things i've learned so far about linux , maybe i could write a few howto's, add a few good links or help out a new linux user in need of assistance when you get your forum up and running. Be sure to post here when the forum is operational.
Another thing ... Are you planning to also add an off topic section to your forum ? Or you intend to keep it strictly linux related talk ?

@Bob: Hehe i completely forgot about that forum of yours ... 

[mouniernetwork]

Ok, thanks I'll change it 
I think that I'll have an off-topic section
