Better Late Than NeverOkay, I finally got this part of the website up and running. Been planning to do it since... uh... well, a long time. Anyway, now the site has more than just the team calendar on it.The calendar is an embedded google calendar. So I login to my google account to edit it, then the changes automatically show up here on this site. I'm not crazy about the limited format and layout options, but at least it should be secure. Last year I installed a calendar program on the Kaos site itself, but ran into problems when some robot program on the internet hacked into the calendar and redirected links to phishing sites. (The links were supposed to be to field locations and such.) At least the google calendar can be embedded in an existing webpage, so it looks better with Kaos stuff surrounding it. The forum software is open source freeware from YaBB. I've used it before and am satisfied enough with the way it can be melded into an existing webpage, so I just customized it a bit without reinventing the whole wheel. Still have a few details to finish (like the colors), but the bulk of it is now operational. The blogging program is something I wrote for myself a few years ago. I wanted something in which the content could be integrated into an existing webpage, and there just wasn't much out there that was designed that way. It was all designed to be standalone pages, and often ends up with a look and feel dictated by the software, not by the website owner. (For an example, compare the style of this website with the site's blog page. It's not a matter of which design you prefer, the point is they don't look anything at all alike.) Anyway, I wrote my own and designed it to be easily integrated into the look and feel of an existing site. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but it was easy enough for my son and daughter to use for their own blogs (here, and here) which they posted while overseas last year.
