The Petra Zone

My goodness, this is confusing.

I couldn't find ANYWHERE in the admin panels to add users to groups (Moderators).

The only way I added you two (String and Michaael) is because I got an e-mail from the system with a direct URL link that requested you be approved!

Didn't think about banning polls. I think they're cool!

I voted option 2, but it was hard. I think On Fire! remains my favorite album of all time, but J&H is really, REALLY up there.

Ok. I suppose any number of you would make qualified moderators. BTW, I'm not sure what happened this evening ... checked in and found the database process was dead! First time that ever happened. If you get something like that again, please feel free to call me... my number is at the bottom of the ...

Yeah. Enter In has always been one of my favorite songs ever.

I don't necessarily need to be the only one responsible for this site.

It would probably be good to make a few more people moderators.

Is this better?

You do need PHP support from your web host. I *think* GoDaddy supports PHP, but could be wrong. It supports several databases. I actually us...

Not worried about bandwidth now, but it could be a problem if this get heavy use.

I'm also concerned about speed for dialup users, but I guess no one cared on the old site.

yikes, that CD spinner is over 200k! Is that such a good idea?

Ok, we have a logo. Kind of!

Quickly hacked up with The Gimp...

I can hack a logo up with the Gimp if no one else has yet. It can create cool logo effects pretty easily. Does someone have the spinning Petra CD graphic that we had at the bottom of the old Zone? Anyway, we'll get it. I have several other configuration steps to do here, and a few other things on my...
