International Anarchy

All posts were marked with who wrote them before. I now have updated a few of the configuration files on the site that link to the Author’s page. The link is embedded into the Authors name displayed on the post. On the Author’s page you will find an archive of all the posts that user has written on our site. I am going to bed now, a hard earned reward for today’s rollout!

That’s right folks! It is time to turn in the old, static HTML web pages of before and move on up! Today International-Anarchy.com moves up to a WordPress installation. This will not only make updating the site easier for me, but I can now have members of the team do news and other front page updates. Visitors can also make comments on all of our news articles, which should be a wonderful new feature. I would like to thank [IA]Jaffa for being an AMAZING beta tester! He helped speed up the roll out of our new website! So sit back and enjoy the new site guys!

ATTENTION TO ALL [IA] MEMBERS:

Be sure to contact me when you can so I can set up your WordPress account on our site!

I have given up on Joomla. Far too complicated for our basic needs. I have installed another CMS that is ready to roll. This software has been easier to set up, and once I have the final tweaks done, then we will move to it. These basic HTML pages will be archived away for reference. Stay tunned to this page and I will let you know which CMS I am using now for the Team.

Our Ventrilo died the other day because our Voice provider tanked. I have set up a new server with TypeFrag and so far it has be wonderful! Lanwar 36 has come and gone and the team had a blast! I am still trying to find the best Joomla configuration set up along with re-configuring the team E-mails. That is about all I have for you guys. I plan on just forgetting about the next version of Joomla and finding the perfect set up with 1.0. Once it is in place only Security updates will need to be done. For now there is no reason to always be on the cutting edge. Just like our forums, if it isn’t broken, don’t mess with it!

The reason I have not been updating our main page as much, and the “News” section in the forums even less, is that I am currently preparing to upgrade our site to use Joomla for our news and content management system. The current static HTML pages is just not the trick, and with the 1 year anniversary of this site being online I thought it was time to upgrade to a more professional look. In the following months leading up to the first of September I will be leading the rest of the team members on with some beta testing for Joomla. I plan to launch with 1.5, if it is out of Beta by then. If it is not, then we will plan from there and may not make the deadline. Stay tuned to this space for more information.
