There's still some stuff I'm unhappy with, but so what: http://ahga.org is powered by (you guessed it) b2evolution! This is a rebuild of an existing web, so it was sort of hard to envision how each bit was going to be blog-driven, but I think I'm there.

Taking advantage of the 'custom css per blog' feature, it's got one skin. Mostly just a different background image for each page, but in one case I also made the main section wider.

I also cracked skins/my_skin/_main.php so I could have a different _main.php for each blog. Basically where the posts loop and sidebar go I call up _mainN.php where N is the blog number. That let me flex the content on each page a lot more than a regular skin allows. I also did a similar thing with _linkblog.php to let me get more flexibility out of linkblogs. Something tells me I tweaked categories somewhere, but I could be wrong. Maybe just linkblog?

I have a hacks.php file for the function that makes the officers page show up. That let me keep everything in one skin and facilitate changing officers and other listed officials. It pulls the info from the person's profile, so all I do is change the number in a little _officers.php file in the skin. Yahoo IM became my phone number field.

I alphabetized the blog list, but since "Photos" is really something like "forum/album.php" it ended up not being alphabetical. Something about the way _bloglist.php gets all that stuff together, but I didn't research it after seeing the funny bug in my little hack. Oh well eh? Back to the hacking board, with "in the skin" as the unbreakable rule.

The 'pilots' blog is begging for the PhotoZoom thing, so I'll start re-researching that bit again. Used to be that each thumbnail in the stories linked to a page with the full size image on it, and I'm pretty sure I have the full images, so - to me - PZing the thumbs is a smooth way to bring the full images back.

The 'videos' blog is empty right now. I like my host a lot for many different reasons, but to host 2 gigs of videos will cost a fortune. I'm halfway thinking of youtubing them all, but I also want to offer a download link for the mpg files so I still need all the space.

The bullets on the sidebar don't line up properly in IE. I forget what skin I started with, but I'm going to have to take a peek at how nescafe does the image-bullet thing and migrate that code.

So anyway feedback will be appreciated :D
