Ideas about new website

[The Big Herm]

Im thinking about starting up a new website. Anyone interested in running it with me let me know, but for now Im trying to get some ideas on what people are looking for. Here is what I was thinking: I wanted to make a mod/skin website that hosts videos and offers map downloads. This would hold the map downloads for custom maps that our servers may hold, and so on. Any other ideas that you guys may have throw them my way. Anyone interested in helping out let me know as well. I know we have a lot of smart fellas and gals in this organization.

I used to be the webmaster for a local community college, and I have taught XHTML/CSS and all that for a couple of years here at the labs in Los Alamos, so if you want any help, just ask. I'll do what my schedule allows.

I dabble in map making and prop design (sadly I never see custom props in player-made maps, which makes me mad since it adds so much to a map). Anyhow, you should think about tacking on props and prefabs to what the site offers, as I'm sure many map designers out there would love to have something new to add to their maps beyond what's already offered in the SDK.

Correct me if this isn't exactly the sort of thing you were aiming for, though.

I would happily do...well...nothing; other than swamp the site like a giddy fanboy.

Thats exactly what I was going for Barlim. And anything you could do to help flippy would be great. I dont want to pay someone to make it for me. Im only a basic html guy. I know enough to add links.

Starting a new website? What the url for your old?

Well, Herm, I think you'd be better served to find a program like WordPress, Drupal, Moodle, or one of them other open source content management or blogging packages. (Drupal and Wordpress are both exceptionally popular right now.)

You can go to http://www.opensourcecms.com and test drive a lot of different packages to get a sense for what would fit the bill for your vision. Then we can talk about how to set it up, what you'll need on the server, etc.
