(PRWeb) May 17, 1007 -- Because home improvement projects in old homes can require time, effort and financial investments, OldHouseWeb.com -- a how-to site offering ideas, articles and resources to old-house enthusiasts -- has created a new interactive forum to allow users to create their own home improvement blogs. In these Member Pages, users are able to post before and after photos, share other information about their projects and discuss the projects with others who are interested in similar work.

The reviews are pouring in already, and they're glowing: "It is a pretty cool site it is totally free and you can make slide shows for web pages without using up space doing each picture alone. You should check it out ... I love it ..." one user raves. Another adds, "for those who haven't 'blogged' before, it's also cool that it's interactive. People can post comments on your posts."

"It's easy to upload pictures and search through a variety of home renovation pictures," says Allison Beatty, a home improvement expert and OldHouseWeb.com columnist.

The reasons for renovating or restoring older homes are many and extend beyond mere hobbies, says home improvement expert Danny Lipford. "Homeowners not only want to modernize their living space, but also ensure that the improvement made to the property is a solid investment in the home's value," he says. In fact, 60 percent of homeowners believe that putting more effort and resources toward home improvement is the best way to increase home value, says a new Bank of America survey, and more than 37 percent of buyers say they're more likely to purchase a home if it has been recently renovated or undergone improvement.

OldHouseWeb.com is a complete old-house remodeling interactive Web site offering old-house enthusiasts how-to resources spanning several industries from cabinetry to architecture. OldHouseWeb.com includes before and after renovation pictures, feature articles, a product showcase and an active forum featuring thousands of questions, solutions and successes.
