Early June 2007. Are you wondering what's going on at taosplaza.com? Well, I'm in the process of upgrading many aspects of our main Taos entertainment and information portal site. First of all, taosplaza.com has upgraded our main dynamic technology from Mambo CMS (content management system) to the Joomla! CMS.

Secondly, taosplaza.com is sporting a new look as we switch to a completely new template design technology based completely on cascading style sheet (CSS) rather than standard html tables. This new template technology makes site operation faster and is very search engine friendly. The new look of taosplaza.com is being configured now, so look for more design changes as I play with a the possibilities of this new templating.

The new Joomla portal engine will allow us to deploy some of the very latest features available for ease of use and viewer enjoyment. Furthermore, the taosplaza.com site continues to grow every day with movies and articles directly from Taos and topics of interest to my friends in Taos.

The new taosplaza.com is now divided up the sections and categories in a more logical way. There are now 3 sections - video, articles, and features. Another section or two may be added later - news and others.

Within the section 'Videos' are topical categories with topics such as 'Activities'. The Video section has informative well-made video movies from dozens of sources and a wide range of topics ranging from local Taos happenings to very intense national and global issues.

The Articles section also features the same type of topical category breakdown.

The Feature section could be called 'Just For Fun' because it has interesting things like Daily Horoscope, Daily Ski Reports, a 'beam it up to a UFO' game, weather report for Taos, a little module to display the current moon phase. Also each section has it's own unique navigation menu.

A handy new features is that the titles are now clickable to see the rest of the item. Also, just to provide the global tracking of taosplaza.com, there is a module displaying visitors countries.

This work has been done on the technology of taosplaza.com so that it will be better and easier and faster to post tons of global-interest online content. The United Kingdom, German, Denmark and several other countries provided the tech.

In the long run, we're hoping to install a module and component that will overthrow evil corrupt regimes and help replace them with benign people friendly regimes.

Maybe the new technology is part of the huge revolution in information that is now available for smart people to change the world - financially, politically, spiritually, intelligently. It's getting more and more possible to seek and find the global truths.

'How do you make money?', they ask. I don't know. How do revolutions make money? If you like this site you might want to help support it by clicking on the google ads or go over to one of our amazon store fronts and buy something you like.

A couple of weeks ago in New Delhi, I saw a phrase from Mahatma Gandhi. I have been reminded of it again and again. 'We have more than enough to satify everyone's need. We do not have enough to satisfy everyone's greed.' That's a good thing to be remembering
