PiscesWind Design - Brooklyn, NY
Ok, here we are Tuesday afternoon, June 24, 08. I’m making note of the date because I’m trying to keep track of the things I want to test, set up, accomplish for this site in advance of setting up a site for my very nice client. (sigh). There are things I want/need to do.
Ok, let’s think (and this list can be updated and added to, as needed):
- predominately and foremost! I want to be able to have individual pages load with different masthead banners on them. Or at least for a category of pages (all the pages in the hypnosis, all the pages in coaching, etc.) An alternate (really only if I have to take it) would be to assign random images. That would be mean developing a stand-alone logo which would be placed beneath the masthead banner.
- modifying the way registered users can work with the site. One cannot register unless C. or the webmaster puts the client into the system first. An email would be sent out to notify said user (it would be nifty down the line to add that functionality to the script that’s accessed when adding a new user - “get that email address and send this note: your in!”) that s/he has been added to this awesome website. Furthermore - users may not post, create pages, or upload any files! Hmm! And we have to figure how to keep all the user areas separate. So perhaps we go back to having LINKS on the sidebar rather than the (current) listing of PAGES in the site and add CATEGORIES.
- I have to determine if I want to stay with only utilizing PAGES or do I want to use only POSTS for the upkeep of this site. I don’t want it to feel like a blog at all - because it isn’t! I read two articles last week, and one guy advocated using only pages and the other fellow said to use only posts if there’s going to be a lot of content, updated often. I think we’ll fall into that last category, but being I have “time” now while I wait for content, etc, I guess I can test both out and see what I think. I must bear in mind my learning curve for the program isn’t as steep as C’s might be. She’s savvy, though. I guess I’ll see. It cant’ hurt to try both ways and keep a work journal to keep track of all the major stuff I’ve been doing.
