Good morning everyone, in the next couple of days we will be introducing a set of sites localized to each city. We are starting with San Francisco and will be moving to Nashville, Chicago, Houston, Austin, New York and Los Angles in the coming weeks. We started with the teline iii template and modified to work to a local flair. One of things that we did was integrate Yelp, CitySearch and Foursquare into our UI to provide local users a one stop shop for find information about a particular venue. Though we are integrating Foursquare data, its been a bit of a manual process so we don’t have all the data in yet. The San Francisco url is

http://sanfrancisco.lalalocal.com/

You can also see the integration of what we’ve done with Yelp, CitySearch and Foursquare here

We will be adding tweets to the directory pages in the next day or two.

We have a bit more work to do on content and the Around Town page, we are integrating Moxie Maps into our site with Moset trees but we plan to really start pushing this site out to friends and colleagues in the next few days. Joomlart (and the community) always provides us a great platform to work on and we are really excited to get this site launched in the next couple of days. Please provide your comments as we would welcome and understanding of how to make our sites better.

Thanks for taking a look

Hi npenning, Looks good, a lot of great content, integration.

One thing i notice on the front page, there is News, Business, etc down to Sports, in different colors with matching color for the links. ALl except for Sports, the link is Pink in stead of Green.

Good luck.

Wonderful use of a cracking good template….I do hate gaps though…wondering if you can fill the bottom right hand side up?
