Thanks, if someone could do something layoutwise that would be great, benjy: if you have time, you can set the layout up.
Also: if you have time, do you know how to set up a PHPBB or similar forum?
I can install PHPBB. Just need the FTP host, user and pass. I can also install Mambo CMS, no need to design a new site.
Good Job Ico.Forum is a piece of cake - you want phpbb? Or do you have any other preference?
Talking about the layout - there needs to be something which you can associate IBLS with - an icon, a mascot - something!
Is it Itsy Bitsy or Itty Bitty Linux server by the way?
Only thing I think of is "the itsy bitsy spider"... but that's a bit naff?
Or do you want some totally generic logo - like a leaf; a star; some kind of abstract shape?
And lastly - do you want to keep any ties with DSL regarding logo's but also colour schemes? Or are you after something completely different?Mambo??? But whyyyyyyyyy???
All the current available templates are nasty! But more than that - mambo is a lot of bloat and unneccessay bits for what is in essence a very simple site.
I'd recommend using just a simple news script for the majority of the site and letting the forum do most of the work - support sections, registered users, admin only sections etc etc.
But it's your site Ico2 - it's up to you!
Oh yeah and I finally registered now!
Oh and you probably know Nasho that you'd need 2 sql db's to setup phpbb and mambo - not just ftp.You´re right Benji. We can just build a simple site. I´ve just registered ibls.com.ar . This registration will take 5 days. If Ico want to use it, just need your DNS.
