We have had quite alot of progress on the website over the last few months and i’ve not really posted any updates lately so I thought i’d just give everyone an idea of whats going on:
Click more for the rest of the article, or visit the Website/Site Map page for the full content.
Pages:
About Us - This page gives a general description of my aims and this sites aims, along with a background to the Usayd Network. It also advertises the support we are giving to different campaigns.
Contact Us - This page now has a form which you can fill in and select to send to any of the reporters on this website. It is an optimised way of contacting us and much faster then the usual method of email.
Gallery - This inline gallery now features a dynamic powered PHP gallery which is availiable to all authors and the possibilty for Users to contact us and have their pictures put up are availiable.
Gaming - This new page which is soon to become much more then a page current houses my (Muslim-4-Ever) gaming profile, in a correlation with Xfire’s profiles and clan information it is becoming quite an interesting place to learn about the latest in online / offline gaming. I am also working on having other users contribute to this page.
Linking - Due to the demand for banners linking from other sites I have created a page for linking. Using a special javascript the source code from the pages can be hilighted and copied for efficient working.
My Rig - This page is like a continuation from the Gaming page only its more technical and quite interesting to see. Like the gaming page i’m currently working on adding more users to contribute to this. Currently it lists 3 of my computers and describes their technical advantages.
Privacy Policy - This page was neccessary to denote the websites policies and what is done with any information we display etc. If you are looking for legalities that is the place to go, though it is not a conclusive policy and is being added to.
Random - I thought it’d be nice if a ‘random’ page be accesible for everyone, and all authors can edit it. I would have users edit it too, but that could become a bit messy 
Users/Authors - This page is basically providing a base for any author or strong user who has provided a good contribution. If you wish to become an author please contact us. There a sublinks to each authors profile which are being developed.
Website/SiteMap - This page basically shows the site map and what is recommended for viewing this site (FireFox @ 1024×768). It will also feature this description.
Plugins:
I am hoping to use the wp-plugin script to show the plugins used on this website, but i’ll just give a quick cap here:
BAStats - This plugin calculates statistics for a WordPress weblog.
Acronym Replacer - Wraps common acronyms with the acronym tag
Adhesive - Allows easy marking of sticky posts
Comment Quicktags - Inserts a quicktag toolbar on the blog comment form.
Kitten’s Spaminator - Spam prevention and blocking using tarpitting and strike counting. Comments are assigned strikes for spam content, and a comment that meets the criteria for spam is blocked from posting.
Limit Categories - Limits the categories to which users of certain levels can make posts.
Markdown - Markdown syntax allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format.
Miniblog - Allows miniature blogs, links, notes, or whatever to be created.
DC nicer archive. - Functions for creating “nicer archives� type page. Requires chnges to the default theme.
Official Comments - Adds functions to distinguish authorised WP user’s comments.
