Added some basics to HV

I sat down last night and figured out what functionalities I'd like on the site. I don't want HeroVenture.com to be a complete 'social networking' site. I think what I'm looking for here is a cross between Military.com ; Yellow Pages ; and Facebook.

Although, keep in mind that I'm looking to add these features:

-Business Directory

   -- This is where all members will be able to add their businesses and contact information for all to see. It will be categorized.

-Blogs

   -- I am going to let all members post their own business blogs. I know many people don't blog, but this will be a good resource for those that do.

-Forums

    -- Self explanitory!

-Articles database/submissions

    -- I will send out opportunities to all members to get article submissions on certain subjects. I anticipate this being slow at first, so I will have a preset number of articles ready to flow/seed.

-Profiles

    -- All members will be able to have their own profiles with their contact information, businesses, etc on their own little member's page. Keep in mind - this will be a remedial members page, nothing crazy like MySpace!

>>I am thinking of doing a 'friends' type of thing, but I don't know if I can have all these functionalities without doing some major overhauls. I'm prioritizing the features to keep the site functional while new things are added. I think friends lists will be one of the last.

Keep in mind also that this is to provide information to those that are looking for it -- not necessarily a huge social networking site. It will be professional, and only made for Mil/Police/Fire!
