Hello everyone,
After a few days of hard work, I finally have the community extension added to the site. You can find it here:
Carnivorous Plant Community
I see this primarily being used as an easy way for people to upload and organize their photos. But it has FAR more capability than this! If you are familiar with any of the typical networking sites such as myspace, facebook and twitter, then this extension to the website will be fairly easy for you to grasp. You can create a profile, make friends, send messages (yes this is duplicated in the forum), create and join groups, post activities (such as carnivorous plant society meetings or sales) and much more. I hope that it allows people to connect easier and trade and sell plants to each other along with exchanging growing tips and photos. It centralizes any comments that you've made and all of your blog postings as well (if you add those applications) so that people can easily keep up with your blogs and comments. It is also possible to locate people in your area that are members. The community is still pretty small, but if it grows, I think that this addition will be very useful.
Please test it out and tell me what you think. I haven't done much in the way of group categories, or making a bunch of fields for the profile customization, so if you want me to add anything to those, just ask.
I can't wait to hear some feedback!
