I haven’t been posting much lately, that’s becuase in between fishing I have very busy working on a new website. I'm very excited about this becuase it is a different concept for me but will suit my needs and our members much better than the prototypical static html website.

The new website will be what is called a CMS or content management system...

A content management system is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your Web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of.

The system I am using is called Joomla.... http://www.joomla.org/

Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution.

Lots of e magazines and online publications use CMS type systems such as the popular "MidCurrent," National Geographic or MTV for that matter.

This new format will enable me to seamlessly incorporate this forum, website, blogs, and directories in an interactive community environment. It's taken me a while to get it going and I have had to incorporate some outside help but the final result should be well worth it.
