Blog redesign, episode 1

As expected this took some time, but here we go; a blog redesign wish list / to do list. Listed in no par­tic­u­lar order, here are some of the things I miss and some of the things I would just really like to do better…and var­i­uos tech-ish stuff I just wanna play with.

  • Under­lined acronyms
  • Valid XHTML served as XML, mean­ing run­ning a live validator
  • UTF-8
  • Nice urls
  • Rebuild at ping (com­ments on the indi­vid­ual archive page cur­rently means no auto-rebuild)
  • Search terms highlight
  • Cus­tom fields; cat­e­gory based layouts
  • Sim­ple shar­ing”; side­blog / del.icio.us bet­ter integrated
  • Comment-layout (live pre­view / com­ment count)
  • More feeds (all con­tent, blogs, com­ments etc.)
  • Colophon (list plu­g­ins etc.)
  • Bet­ter archive pages (includ­ing moblog / sideblog)
  • Change front­page layout

And a lot more… But this is a start. I think I’ll start by upgrad­ing to MT 3.11 and see how that works, then I’ll strip the site for most of the design, only keep­ing lay­out styles and start imple­ment­ing fea­tures, repo­si­tion­ing con­tent etc., post­ing as I go along. Hope­fully at the end I will have a fin­ished design to slap onto the pretty markup.

Any feature/layout sug­ges­tions are more than welcome.

    Sounds great!

    Even though I don’t know MT very well, I sus­pect there’s already made plu­g­ins for a lot of the more tech-related things you think of implementing.

    Yup, while feel­ing like something’s got to hap­pen, I’m not that bold so I plan on writ­ing plu­g­ins myself. I guess I’ll have trou­ble enough imple­ment­ing them ;-)

    This whole redesign thing (which is really quite bor­ing and not nesse­car­ily that inter­est­ing a read) will hope­fully end with find­ing good ways to choose and imple­ment fea­tures. At least that’s what I hope.

    Please feel free to chip in with good advice, thoughts etc.
