Laziness... It can be horrible, and sometimes wonderful. In this case horrible.
Ever since I got my domain, and got my site up and running, the homepage has been left bland, and never really functioned. But finally my laziness for this particular area wore off, and I used my favored news poster, PHPNews. Which I must say is extremely good
Its EXTREMELY customizable. You create all the templates, and you just set the spot for where the news title goes, the message, and extra info, like whether not to put a comments page for your news, show what category its in, who posted it, when it was posted, etc...
And to make the news viewable, all you gotta do is put phpnews in a deeper folder, and create an index.php file with the following...
Code:
A highly recommended system to use. As I said before, its very customizable, and can be used for almost anything. With a bit of tweaking you can even make it a simple forum, a code sharing site, a blog, and tons of other stuff.
To sum it all up, my site is up and running and I am very happy
I did a bit of changes to my original forum template to make it have its own swivelgames.com look, but kept enough that it blended almost perfectly with rhika
Lets just hope I wake up in time to goto school in the morning.
Check out my site, and tell me what you think of it!
