I made a site called Dsicono (Url:http://dsicono.zzl.org) and i will talk about some of the features.
Site Features:
1)News:The news page is acctual news picked from a veriaty of news papers that have been transferd into a web code.Over 300 different news appear in a small box that can be custimized in height,width,text color,ect.
2)Chatroom:The chatroom is a-jax chat that is 100% custimized.The custimizacion includes chat color,chat commands,chat smileys,chat avatars,chat icons,ect.(50% Credit to Fallguy)
3)Polls:This feature is a minor box that can have 30+ answers to a question(In my case the question is always random).You can custimize the height,width,background image,text color,box color,ect.
4)Account:This feature lets you create an acount for the chatroom and to login to VPC(Virtual PC).VPC allows you to change your account background,create/view blogs,ect.VPC isnt mine nor fully finished yet and it might take awhile depending on when Fallguy has the chance to work with it.You will need to make an account because the chatroom doesnt allow guests.
5)Affilate Links:This web page isnt installed yet but ill get to it.This page will include many different sites depending differently.If you want your site or know a site just put the url on a comment below.

There will be different features later on this year.Enjoy -MS
