The web site is starting to come together, so it will be up and down over the next couple days.
I've got a few announcements and requests, so thought I'd start a new thread and keep it up to date.

First off, I need graphic ad banners created: 468x60
Here's the RBG Color codes we're going to be using:
orange: 255,123,00
black: 0,0,0
blue: 153,204,255
If you've got some graphic talent, you'll know what how to use those and how to go outside those colors.
The main message of the banners is:
Join the Texian Army!
Of course, you're willing to rewrite that however, but the goal is to get new members to sign up/enlist/join or whatever word you want to use.
email submissions to jgorley@yahoo.com

Also, with the domain name, texianarmy.org - we will have vanity emails - meaning you can sign up for an email address and we will forward mail from it on to your regular email account.
We'll also have a limited number of email accounts for officers, and things like contactus, admin, etc that can be checked over the web. As we see how much space/usage this involves, we could open that up to more members.
So Please PM me or email me if you are interested in a vanity email address @texianarmy.org.
Thanks

I wanted to let y'all know that I have put up links to the new Texian Army website on our calendar/events page at www.mezzaninelounge.com. We have just finalized everything to become the Official Post-Game Venue of Houston Dynamo. We are very excited about this partnership.
Please let me know if there is anything you need that I can help with!

Great use of Mambo/Joomla!
One suggestion is to poll the leaders of the fan club and decide if you want to offer "usermenu"......which entails showing User Login and what 'degree' of participation that is allowed from 'specific' and/or 'general' Users...
In my experience with Joomla; I've non-Published the "usermenu" altogether for streamlined controls......specific permissions can be set for specific individuals through the Admin login...
Again; great job!..

Yep. It's on the list. Biggest hurdle now is to quickly get a store up so we can signup members online and have them pay right away. Then of course expand that for scarves, shirts, etc. Also Calendar and GoogleAds to help pay for this stuff. :-)

FuBoy,
If you need any writing done for the site, I'll offer what I can. I have a journalism degree that I don't do anything with anymore and stopped writing for SpaceCitySports a few years ago and lost my one link to the journalism community.

Yeah. Assuming he was BCC'ing someone to do something about it - kind of declaring that we'd done our part, and that they needed to do their part now.

At least the site is #1 on google for texian army
The myspace.com/texianarmy group is in the top 20 on google for texian army, and there's not hardly anything there.
Although google still has the old site cached (with the correct new URL)... but that'll get cleaned up soon enough.
