[Klug-general] New klug website

[dan attwood]

This post is really for the benefit of those members not at saturdays 
excellent Maidstone meet.

Due to a small catalogue of errors on my part the Klug website has been 
been rebuilt and went live on friday night.

The due site is now back to running on apache2 with the additon of 
mod_deflate, APC php caching, a theme that supports css compresion and 
the drupal boost module which caches content as static html files.

The site also uses less modules, has had non used features removed. The 
planet drupal/ klug mega feed 4000 beta 6 has been replaced with the 
activity stream module which helps to keep things nice and neat. Users 
that register on the site can add their twitter feeds, rss and also 
facebook rss feed. In order to do this register on the site, sign in and 
goto 'my account' in the left hand bar and then click on the 'edit' 
button and then the 'activity stream' button.

The site polls these feeds every 15 mins or so and displays the newest 
results on the activity stream pane and also in the rss feed at;
http://kentlug.org/userrrsfeed

I would suggest that people don't save their username and passwords for 
the site as this will log them in automatically - logged in users are 
feed page form the database rather then the boost cache and this will 
make the site slower.
