In building The Webmaster’s Edge, I have chosen several scripts that will help me build the site. I have setup Wordpress for the Blog, WSNLinks for the Ad Network Directory, and phpBB3 for the forums. I plan to set up two copies of MediaWiki for the Server Admin/Hosting Help and the Web Design Help sections. I have not set this up yet though due to some integration issues with WSNLinks and phpBB3.

I need to upgrade php4 to php5 (necessary) as well as MySQL4 to MySQL5 (might as well) in order to install MediaWiki, however if I do that I need to upgrade the copy of phpBB2 on another one of my sites to phpBB3. This normally wouldn’t be an issue, however the copy of WSNLinks on that site is setup for user integration with phpBB2. phpBB3 drastically changed the password hashing mechanism and this is causing some headaches in upgrading. Once I have that sorted out, I should be able to get the Wiki’s started, properly themed, and finish the site for a “final release”.

I hope to have the site “live” and begin promotion in May. This shouldn’t be an issue as long as there aren’t too many hiccups. I’m very excited to get this off the ground.
