The eZOI Network Is Web sites and Domain Names http://ezoi.net Information About The eZOI Network of Web Sites Tue, 08 Dec 2009 22:40:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 en The latest addition to the network. http://ezoi.net/2009/the-latest-addition-to-the-network/ http://ezoi.net/2009/the-latest-addition-to-the-network/#comments Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:46:50 +0000 admin http://ezoi.net/?p=167 In a discussion with some friends while back the subject of Micro Breweries came up. When looking around I found a number of sites related to these beers but very little in the way of a directory so I have put together MicroBrewIndex.com.

There are currently around 1,000 listings which are categorized by region. Over time we are hoping to increase this number significantly. Basic listings are free with a premium option at a very small cost.

I really like the Drupal user blogs concept.

From a themes standpoint Joomla has a great selection but could soon get very expensive.  Themes for Drupal are most likely blah but not all that hard to tweak.

I had recently put together www.QUHL.com using WP (modified girl theme) so I decided to try WP for eZOI.  After doing the install I looked around for a theme and decided to give interlude a try but It needed my own look.  Took like 3-4 hours to get what you see now.  Not bad considering getting everything in the header to look like I wanted and I still want to move the logo a bit.

A few days ago I decided to give www.AsiaTraveler.info a new look.  Took a vey short afternoon install and get a look I like using the elegance theme.

Bottom line is I am suitably impressed and WP has been added to my toolbox.  That doesn’t mean WP will be used for everything but when it is a better fit to the project.

It has evolved from a desire to satisfy the big G requirement to have a privacy statement and contact from all sites using Adsense. I felt it might be worth the effort to have a single document which could be modified easily than having to make a change on each and every site. That got me thinking it might be a good chance to dig into Wordpress so here I sit with a working generalized privacy statement which just requires a link from any site which passes the domain name to a custom template. I could have done that in under an hour with Drupal where this took an afternoon and evening but I learned something in the process.

I am now thinking about using this as a place to plug present information about many of my sites, comment on sites I like or dislike, talk about the domain name game and who knows what.

I am not sure I chose the right name between XOWW.com or eZOI.net and I may still change it.
