Jake,

You're posting duplicates ;-)

"to get a site up and going rather quickly ... "

'hurry => bad curry..." ;-) --- Why the hurry ? -- you know good thngs take time ( Justin is right -- if you're in real hurry.. CurveRider can most likely get you going faster )

"I am on a time schedule and need to get a site up rather quickly... This site can be fairly simple to start I just need to get it going with a few parameters. "

(1)    "A simple site" ==> yes, can be put up quickly - no frills, nothing fancy - This I could do quite easily !

(2)    What are your realistic objectives ? You probaly will want to extract data from your MovieCoupons WordPress site and load to the new Elgg-based site, Correct ? If so -- this will take more effort.

(3)    If you're lookingfor a quick simple to get going, but with some spice -- there are themes and ( hopefully easier ) customizations - eg CustomIndex which can do the job to sme degree. Further *customization => more effort.

Have a browse around these ==
