Bingo on Drupal

I recently decided to build a new bingo site called Bingo Genius but wanted to go the route of using one of the proprietry CMS tools available online. A few caught my eye including Joomla and Mambo but I eventually decided to give Drupal a go.

So far it's worked out not too bad. The Bingo Genius site certainly requires some work yet and it was a little tricky to configure but now that it's set up and is running more or less correctly, I'm pleased with the results.

The initial configuration did take some time getting all of the Drupal modules plugged in and working and admittedly some I cannot seem to get to work. I'm currently trying to get the chat room function working. However, adding new sections is fairly straightforward so overall I'm pleased with my first attempt at setting up a CMS based site.

Have a look at Bingo Genius if you'd like to see how it all came together and if you're a bingo fan, feel free to post a message in the forums. It's just been sorted out so there's not many members yet but hopefully with a little promotion the site will be seen as a centre of information for playing bingo on and off-line.
