Updates: Names, Menus, and Movies Oh My!

admin's picture

A few quick changes to the site.

1. I changed the name from "Barn Yard Alliance" to "Barn Yard Animals". If you have strong feelings about this for whatever reasons get your comment on.

2. I added a "BYA Menu" to the left side of the site. Here you will find general BYA related info and content. The "BYA Images" gallery also has two sub-galleries. "LAN Parties" and "Misc." are pretty self explanatory. Feel free to add to them by selecting them when you post an image.

3. There has been some talk of adding video and audio support to the site. I'm looking into how we would host our own stuff like that, but we may not be able to. Streaming video and audio sucks up bandwidth which may cost us (Chris) a pretty penny. For now i would just suggest you embed video in blog posts. Here is a link to a easy way to embed stuff in Drupal posts.

That's it for now. Apart from looking into hosting video I'm also going to try and get us our own forum and wiki page. If there is something else you want to see feel free to lemme know in the comments!

Perhaps you didn't copy all of the embed code? What site were you trying to embed from?

Either way enjoy some lulzy Paul Rudd and the harz that follow.

Nah there is one more thing to do after you paste the embed text. Read the tutorial while you do it. It's pretty simple once you see it done. Basically you just need to change it to "Full HTML" or something. Get you read on.

B.Y.A.

I like Lamb's idea. So in his spirit I've changed the name to "B.Y.A. Studios". It's simple and it can mean whatever you want it to mean.
