Its been a struggle making this (well, I just pay for it) news site as I ask for a lot of tweaky things from my developer. AXcess News

But I wanted to know what more-involved XOOPS developers thought of it.

Been having probs with phpadsnew and blocks. Note the skyscraper on the right. Also, the XOOPS wysiwyg editor was inferior, installed a better one. And no, I don't recall its name.

Installed a non-xoops forum. Not set up yet though, waiting on header et al. Ditto on a link directory.

Search does not work - NEED a php program for that, any recommendations would be appreciated.

Nice ... :)

But you have a wrong link:

'Free News Headlines' -http://www.axcessnews.commodules/rss/

beautiful website and layout.
just one thing! the adsence header should have been white background and red font ! that way it will look more like content of ur website and possibly you can earn more clicks ! just a personal thought.. heres how i have optimized my google adsence!http://www.ayubians.com/thesite

Fantastic-looking site, Axcess. I can see you spend a LOT of time at it.

Have you tried the XOOGLE module for site searches?
