Brewology Overhaul *spoiler alert* ; )
Here on the Brewology Network we try to offer gamers and otherwise interested viewers with the most recent downloads and information about casual gaming. Lately, our news section has been slacking, but nonetheless, I know that we can get over this hump and get back on track as a respected community once again. There are positions that I need to ask of the community to be filled though. If you love this site and would like to contribute, please post here and let me and other staffers know what you're all about so we can consider you for a job here.
Jobs To Apply For
1. News Posting
2. phpBB coder
3. HTML coder *note* If you know both languages or know anyone that can assist us for free, let me know!
4. Graphics Artist
5. Moderator *note* We might not need to accept additional Moderators at this time.
6. Feature Article Writer *info below*
*Feature Article Writer*
Once we fully implement a good News Team that updates daily, it's always been a personal idea of mine that we'd then integrate a few select people to accept "special news posts". These people would accept "assignments" from me directly about certain aspects in the gaming community and would be responsible to write "feature articles" that will be linked to from all websites in the brewology. The idea is that if there's a huge new trend in gaming, be it a controller style or a really hot new game, we'll have our Feature Article Writers writing up the story on the hottest news and giving our network a true namesake against our competitors.
Also, I know that there are some great graphics artists here at the brewology, but we really need people with professional skills or people who feel their skill is equivalent. For more into that, please read the "spoiler alert" below.

I will spill the beans a little bit. Nik and I have been trying to get a system in order in which we can fully migrate the entire Brewology Network to phpBB 3.0 instead of our 2.xx version. This would provide not only better support for security purposes but will also be a quintessential update for allowing our members to be able to choose from multiple different colors/ design templates - something the community has been wanting for a long time. Coincidentally, this could allow us to create new features for the Brewology Network that we haven't even considered in the past, such as an RSS feed and the ability to DIG our news posts and such like other news sites (this can be done on phpbb2 but we won't implement it in our current state). This process is ongoing, but I assure you, progress has already been made into this next step. We've learned how to successfully migrate our data. The problem now is that we need custom graphics artists, phpBB coders, and possibly some HTML gurus as well to help us create a variety of templates. If we can get a steadily updated front news page that is saturated with news from various sources day-to-day, then I promise you that we will work steadfast at providing a friendlier user interface for the Brewology Network.
