 * I am not sure if this is the right place to post my question. Years ago I built
   a successful site for my local community. At that time WordPress was not available
   everything was done through p h p on the backside
    I currently use text to speech
   because I’m visually disabled.
 * I have purchased plugins like profile grid and even hired live support from WP
   Live. They have been AWESOME. Problem with that is there very good at helping
   you connect things but not really on developing ways to get things done.
 * WordPress has a lot of plugins and this is very overwhelming.
 * When I first started this project 6 months ago I thought this would be a fairly
   simple thing to do.
 * 1. I want to build a site where members can enter their local zip code in their
   profile when registering.
 * 2. I want to have the ability for members to create their own Forum topic, group,
   or maybe even a Blog. I don’t care which of these are used I just want to have
   a way for people to have discussions with other people from their own ZIP or 
   postal code area.
 * The the end result would be when people enter or arrive at my site they will 
   have a search box where they can enter their local zip code and find other individuals
   and discussions within that zip code.
 * I need help on how to structure this. It would be very very appreciated if someone
   give me some advice. Any guidance would be appreciated Thank you.

 * I strongly suggest to take a look at BuddyPress. It has some of the features 
   requested above.

 * Thank you for the response. I have that installed now. I am just having a problem
   trying to create the plan for the overall site. I have already spent a lot of
   time and money trying to put this together. What I realize now is that I need
   to create a solid plan.
    I have a quote I have used all my life and I did not
   do this when I started this project. The quote is plan your work and work your
   plan. I could spend another six months trying to figure all this out. I do not
   want to spend another six months spinning my wheels.
 * Thank you again for your response if you can give me any other input that would
   be awesome. Thank you

 * What’s the endgame? What will the users get that no one else is offering?
