Another update.\u00a0 Or two.\u00a0 I think I slept through the last one (2.6.2).\u00a0 Shame on me!\u00a0 Everyone knows that the world revolves around Wordpress.\u00a0 Right?<\/p>\n
So I'm wondering if my "uber-project" is doable in Wordpress.\u00a0 It would let me get started sooner if it were, because I wouldn't have to implement anything.\u00a0 It's the implementing that has me daunted.\u00a0 I have a few weeks to make a decision, because right now I'm still working on digitizing my videos.\u00a0 Once I'm done with that I will have to make a move on the uber-project.<\/p>\n
Anyway, if I am to use Wordpress (or any software for that matter), I think I need the following features:<\/p>\n
1) photo albums<\/strong> – Some days I took several pictures.\u00a0 Some trips spanned multiple days.\u00a0 It would be nice to see photos grouped by day *and* by trip.\u00a0 This means a photo needs to be in multiple collections.<\/p>\n 2) comments<\/strong> – I'd like to give people the ability to comment on individual photos or collections.\u00a0 Ditto for videos, stories, and songs.\u00a0 This isn't a must-have, but would let me get rid of my dependence on flickr.<\/p>\n 3) category overview<\/strong> – I want to see a visual representation of all the "activity" in certain categories\/tags (music, photos, videos, etc.) over a large date range.\u00a0 For example, if I took lots of pictures in March 1998 and only a couple in April 1998, I want to see the difference immediately.\u00a0 Ditto for 1998 vs 1999.\u00a0 If each post is for a single day, and if single days can have varying numbers of photos, then I need to include different types of tags for photos (e.g., "1 photo", "2 photos", "5-10 photos", "100+ photos", etc.)\u00a0 This can get complex, and goes against how Wordpress was designed.\u00a0 I might need to find or create a completely different way of embedding quantitative information in posts.<\/p>\n …<\/p>\n There might be more requirements, but right now I need to go.\u00a0 Life calls more loudly than Wordpress!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another update.\u00a0 Or two.\u00a0 I think I slept through the last one (2.6.2).\u00a0 Shame on me!\u00a0 Everyone knows that the world revolves around Wordpress.\u00a0 Right?
