Title: Announcing the launch of our new home page
Post by: Daddy on March 02, 2008, 08:44:47 PM
Hey Boyagers.  We would like to unveil the new home page found at http://boyah.net.  It's still undergoing some minor work but, for the most part, it's done. 

We're looking for some people who'd like to contribute articles for us.  If you're interested post here and we'll see what we can do.   

Right now you can log in with your forum account as a subscriber, but we need to give you author permissions.

Thanks.

--JMV

also, you guys can log into it (http://boyah.net/wp-login.php) using your existing forum account.

This one uses an actual CMS, so yes, we will.

yay

We could have had it earlier but I was stubborn and didn't want a blog-like layout and we finally found a good one that we both liked.

Can we allow comments to be approved automatically?

Also I'd like a little "welcome" text explaining what our website is a little bit.

Bassir, surely there is a way to link to our profiles from the wordpress thing and include something  under our post count that links to our submissions to the homepage, right?

I just want a quick "Welcome to Boyah, probably the best place in the internet" or some crap.

I can't think of anything. Just make sure something like that is on the front page close to the top at all times.

Okay, the favicon is pissing me off.     baddood;

It only shows on indexes. For example shows on the main page's index, but let's say click on a review. And it goes away. So where the hell is the damned favicon.ico file? I want it working by yesterday  baddood;

In other news I loce iPhone review.

I get lots of calls, but I neglect most of them and in the rare occasion that I do answer it--I give him/her the worse phone conversation ever.

Besides, it's a smartphone... there are more uses than just making phone calls.

The decision went like this

Me:Bassir, I know you want Wordpress.  Find us a theme that isn't bloglike and you've got it
Bassir: Ok how about these? *insert link*
Me: Either *2 themes I forget* or Mimbo
Bassir: Mimbo it is

You should edit it and make it green/white instead of green/white/black. Then it would be pretty perfect.
