Hey everyone, i'd first like to say how awesome XOOPS is, I used e107 for about a year and then switched to mambo but didn't like it after only a week. I found XOOPS through http://www.opensourcecms.com/ and couldn't be happier with it. It has so many features and the forums have helped me a lot. Well anyways please check out my site

apblue.com

and let me know what you think. Basically I wanted a place where new and current students could easily find places around the University. But my site offers free software downloads that students would need, support forums, job listings, and some other small things. Please let me know what you think, your feedback is greatly appreciated.

On another note, to pay for college tuition I think it would be cool if I could get local businesses to pay to advertise on my site. If anyone knows a good approach at doing that or basically any tips on doing that please let me know.

Here is a link to the school I attend in case you were wondering

Azusa Pacific University

Like the site!

Looks very msn looking

Do you need?
Waiting Contents?

Also your menu could be arranged, so it is in a size order so it looks smarter?

Good luck

thanks, i could probably due without the waiting contents block and as for the main menu, it might look nicer with it arranged in size order, but then again it might be nice having the most wanted content on the top, i'll play with it a little and see how it goes

I also like the site.

Suggestions on waiting contents:

You can make it viewable by admins only or use the Extensible Waiting Block Module that only shows when something is actually waiting. It is hidden otherwise.

HTH.

In System Admin - Groups make sure only the webmaster group has block view permissions.

Please continue to review my site and does anyone have any tips or information on getting people to advertise on your website, is there a special module for that?

your website looks good!

there are so many options for advertising. just few
if you don't have any advertiser, then you can join google adsense - you dont need to look for any advertisers and easy to join
if you have advertiser, then you can use banners or custom block

good luck
