I've added a "Bonus" section to my website that gives the latitude to
do a few more things.

1. It lets users contribute pictures of themselves and their bikes and
view others' contributions.
2. It releases (to a restricted audience) some of the more
controversial aspects of some stories.

On that latter point, I'm re-writing the highway motorcycle-pedestrian
incident that's been discussed here before, to improve the prose and
include some pictures.

There's already an article in the new section covering an Alberta bike
rally in 2004. This is made interesting by a wet t-shirt contest
(streaming video included) and the presence of a CBC documentary.

It'a all free. It's just that, when it comes to uploading and stuff,
you'll need to click "Register" on the site to gain permission. Once
you get that, a "Bonus" entry appears on the menu (if you log on).
I've covered it in more detail in today's blog entry as well.

The website is at: http://www.xidos.ca

The blog describing the feature is at: http://www.xidos.ca/Blog/tabid/128/B...1/Default.aspx

Cheers.

Dog gone. 5 minutes after I posted that, I discovered the computer
that serves the most frequently accessed pictures and videos has
crashed. The basic functionality (including registration), text
portions and lesser-viewed pictures are still available, however.

I'm in the process of flipping the links to a different server right
now, but it will take a little time... I'll indicate when that's
done.

What module are you using for the bonus photos?

I'm using the "Repository" module, Jerry. You've used DNN yourself
before?

It let's me set things up so that, when a file gets uploaded, it
notifies me and, until I give it approval, it doesn't appear for
others to see.

Having a major headache right now, with the high-speed server just
having gone down, but I've already got portions of the site working
proper again (including that new Bonus section).

Done. The site is fully functional again.

I have used DNN for awhile. My old site is DNN, but I don't think I have
done anything with it for a year or so. I had and have great plans for it,
but my creativity and desire run in short cycles. I have an older photo
module that I used, but I will change it if I ever get back to it. I am
thinking about getting the gallery module from here to use when I update and
redo my site.

I'll have to check that gallery module out. Right now I just use HTML
inside a Text/Html module.

As far as having time to update and maintain a site... well, you
should move up to Canada. With the long winters here, you'll have
lots of time on your hands, like me!

It took awhile.
