Blog: I am pretty pleased with the integration of Wordpress into my site. I’ve managed to get the most recent blog post (you’re veiwing it now) out of the Wordpress directory and onto the home page. I’ve decided to not allow logins or registrations for the time being. I will allow comments without registration. On the note of comments, I need to investigate how they are handled and displayed. I’m not entirely sure I like how it’s setup at the moment, but this will be a project for another time. I think it’s time to move on to a couple of other sections.
Photos: I haven’t put enough time into figuring out how I want to handle my photos. I don’t even really have a concept in mind yet. With the blog in place, I might be able to integrate my Photos via Wordpress. I’ve always liked the yawnarific idea of a daily photo. I may use the Wordpress install for that and use the Photos section of the main menu as a means of sharing some of my favorite photos I’ve taken over the years. If I go with a photo album format, I’d really like something easy to navigate and very well organized. I might have to investigate how I can tag photos so they are searchable by content.
Music: This section of the site really lacks concept. It’s been a while since I’ve played or recorded any of my own music so I don’t know that I need a section of the site dedicated to it. The original thought was I would put anything music related in here. I’d like to share some of my musical interests on the site, but I think I can handle this within Wordpress now (kind of like album reviews).
There areĀ a few place holders hanging around the site here and there. I’ll tackle these in order of priority. I’m still trying to keep with my deadline of having the site ready by the end of November. Just in time for snowboarding
