[theENIGMATRON]

Ok i have done my work.

I have the template running, I have it posting through to here.
I have SEO working on its own, and ill be running along side that to push the site up google.

I have put a Load of Content on there to get it looking Good.

Its Over To All You Now,
I have give you access, if you dont have it give me a shout and ill sort it.

Its up2 you what you want to put on there.
I have covered all categorys other than Apple, that am doing now. Other than that i think everything is covered for.


If you wish to be a 3rd Party News Source (i.e. Copy Source some someone else)
Include a Source: COMPANY NAME
and a link to the post.

I would love to see some reviews from you guys, Previews if you can on Any BETA you have or intel you have.
Your own Options. Anything please post away.

I will add content from time to time, but i want to see you guys do something with it now
Please.

Like i said if your unsure how to use anything TRY and post back here.

The only thing i would say is PLEASE done forget to upload Images (We host the images)
And Ensure you have a Featured image or it looks crap on the homepage

Thanks

I'll start using it on a regular basis instead of the forum... after all it posts here too.

I might give a write up about my PC gaming experiences vs PS3.

Actually Dave there's a big favour you could do for me...
It wont take long, no more than 3-5 minutes

Underneath the image is a bbcode link - the first box.
The second box needs altering to do exactly the same but with HTML instead of bbcode.

You'll need to ftp to the gallery/plugin folder to find it, I can't find the original anywhere, but thats all it is... a plugin that needs altering.

This way I quickly copy and paste directly using HTML.

Also the gallery is very INSECURE and needs an update, I cant do it, I dont have admin FTP access.

Am updating the gallery as we speak.
What is the plugin you used so i can go and hunt it down.

No need for FTP Access. Old school for editing

Copy /Paste BB Code image url (bbcode_below_intermediate): v1.3
Author: Thomas Lange - Stramm stramm@gmx.net)
Description This plug-in shows copy/ paste ready bbcode for bulletin boards below the intermediate image. It links to the fullsized image either with a text link (title) or the image thumb. You will have to allow hotlinking!

Thats all I can give you sorry Dave.

I don't really get what you mean by "featured images" n that, but I'll crack on with reviews for stuff I'm playing or just got for sure

I can also use it for a bit of iPhone app exposure...mwah ha ha.

Should probably bear in mind that the stuff I posted for example content belongs to other sites, so probably best to either re-write it, or pull it down when we have something else.

Yer Cheers,
Am going through an linking everything to the original Source. so it should not have any impact.

In Regards to Featured Image:
On the Homepage you will see a list of recent news in the middle, and they all have a little Image Aligned to the left.
That there is a Featured Image:

When you create a Post, you will see on the bottom right hand side:
featured image

See the screenshots as a follow through:

I'll start making small review for PSN games soon.
I'll try and go back as far as I can, eventually we'll have a decent amount of reviews.

If anyone else wants to do the same it's greatly appreciated, and helps us get more review codes too.
