A2Drupal has a new look and feel!

Thanks to the new og_panels functionality added on groups.drupal.org by moshe weitzman. Josh Koenig from the Drupal Dojo has done a great screencast showing how to implement panels within groups. The og_panels module comes stock with the Organic Groups module version 5.x-6.0. It is dependant on the Panels and Views modules but I'm not deploying many new sites with out those two modules.

This really gives the group administrator the ability to customize their site and make it their own. The River of News is an important view but rarely the most useful. So I have added a 4 panel view to our group home and two tabbed pages (Support and The River). This is great stuff and I am off to work this feature into a OG driven site I have now. Enjoy!
