Random permutations code by Jan Zaruba, thanks!

The User News module allows each member of your Drupal site to individually create and publish news articles, with each member having his/her own individual RSS feed. A block is also provided which collectively lists all the site's "Latest news articles."

If this sounds "familiar" to you, it'd probably be safe to say that you've been using Drupal enough to the point that you might be considered what some refer to as an expert (of course that's just my opinion, but nonetheless). The reason? This module's platform is based heavily on that of the Blog module which is one of the (optional) core modules that ships with every download of Drupal itself.

So... Why would such a module exist?

Great question.

This module provides a geo-location block for your Drupal site, which displays to your visitors their:

• IP address
• Internet Service Provider's Name
• Telephone Area Code
• City
• State
• Zip/Postal Code
• Country's flag
• Country's Name/Code
• Latitude
• Longitude
• DMA Code (kind of "optionally"... if enough people say that they care to have that feature then I'll commit it but otherwise I'll leave it as is for now)

The Website toolbar allows you to add the following features to your
site:
* navigate to the start page
* navigate to top of the page
* integrate a button to your rss-feed
* let your users tweet your content
* let your users share your content to social network sites such as Delicious, Digg, Facebook, and more social bookmarking and sharing sites
* integrate the google search on your site
* integrate a print feature
* provides 24 different designs

The toolbar use an external javascript.

The Own Term module grew out of the need to create blogs that were more flexible than the standard blog that comes out of the box with Drupal, particularly:

1. We wanted blogs to have a name different than the user who wrote them.
2. We wanted to include other things than blog nodes in a blog stream, such as polls.
3. We wanted a blog that more than one person could contribute posts to.

After some thought, it occurred to us that really, all a blog is is a collection of nodes. And if you want to collect a bunch of nodes together, then taxonomy seems to be the best way to start. They've even got taxonomy out of the box.

When you enable ownterm you need to set up a vocabulary which is set up for ownterm by clicking on the 'Enable Ownterm' checkbox in the vocabulary's edit page, and this should be an empty vocabulary to start with. After that you need to give at least the 'create and edit term' permission to authenticated users.
