B.Y.A. Studios All we need is a cow...

As some of you may have noticed there have been a few changes to the site.

1. I turned on taxonomy, a.k.a "tags". Basically these are labels that you can assign blog/forum/etc posts so that they can be categorized with stuff of the same subject. For example, if you post a video then you would put it under the "video" tag. Then anytime you wanna see some of the videos people have posted you can click on on the "video" tag above the post and see all posted videos. Hopefully this will help us organize our thoughts and make archiving easier as our site grows. Right now I have it set to be mandatory so y'all can get into the swing of things. But if this proves to be a problem or if there is a tag you think I missed lemme know.

2. I've turned on the "forum" module. This means that we do indeed have a forum but for now there is no link to it. I want to get some other stuff done (taxonomy, themes) before I add a new medium to the mix. Keep this in mind if you try to make a forum post.

This is one big step towards a better site but there are a few things I still need to address.

1. The theme. Apart from Skunk's requested darker theme (pussy) I would like to get around to getting our site looking the part. I know a little CSS but not enough to do a big revamp. If any of you wanna help drop me a line (this is Mallard). We will need some graphics so any of you that want to send me a picture for our logo get on that shit.

2. Profiles. Ideally we would each have a "home page" at some point. Most likely this will take the form of the user profile (Example: http://byastudios.com/drupal/user/1). I'm working on getting things set up correctly but I have run into some major problems with the module. I'm going to try to get it fixed, but it could talk some real work to get it done. Just an FYI for y'all.

3. Other sites. I would like to see us start to take advantage of some other sites that offer services I can't provide. I'm not talking about movie off of this site, rather using services like Last.fm (http://www.last.fm/user/BYAmallard) and integrating them with our site. I think we could get some cool shit going by using Web 3.0 stuff like this. I'll try to find some more and create a "favorites" page, but feel free to hit me up with some suggestions.
