SocialSoapBox.com is a microblogging and community discussion site where users post and reply to topics and can choose a color to emphasize their emotion to what they are posting.
As a user you can create, edit, and subscribe to soapboxes.
As an admin to the site and using our custom coded CMS system you can add/edit soapboxes, add/edit pages, add/edit soapbox moods, add/edit categories, and manage users all with the click of a mouse using an very simple and intuitive UI.
The CMS system for this site was created specifically for this project. It features professional PHP object oriented programming utilizing a MySQL database on the back-end.
With this CMS system you can easily change out templates and add others to modify this site or even create other based off of it.
