Morgan Carey's Blog: Blog Planning

I need to create a mailer (Simple enough) that sends emails to all REW bloggers letting them know about new upgrades to REW Blogs as well as point out helpful information posted on REW and other blog related sources that will improve the quality of their blogs. Read Full Post

I think we should increase the amount of articles in a category from 5 to 8 - not sure how this will effect the design, but will provide more to read and more to look at from a content perspective. Read Full Post

I just realized that there isn't a distinction between category and sub category levels here at the REW Blogs, I would like the sub cats to only show if you are already in the main cat section or any subsequent sub of a main cat.

REW templates and CMS already use this technology and it it would be sweet from an organization perspective. Read Full Post

Just a note to myself to install google analyics on the REW Blogs Read Full Post

One of the most important thing for keeping a clean and active blog is managing your comments - we need to create a notification such as "You have x amount of comments in your queue waiting for approval" - this should be on the main page when a user logs into their REW blog.

What other notifications do we need here? Read Full Post

(PHIL DO NOT CHANGE THE BLOG DESIGN I LIKE IT, just look at the specifics I am posting here) 

I really don't like the contact links all over the place on comments - check out this post (Look at the comments) http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/blogs/ryan-ward/203/show/

The comments section looks like crap because it has a link to my blog, a link to contact me, my name (Also a link) and then my pic.

What I would rather this looked like was my picture (I really like this element and want to keep it, perhaps with my name directly under the pic as a hyperlink to my blog (Link to blog important) - and find a way to make a better use of that space.

Now onto http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/blogs/all/ - once again a really poor use of space, I like that…

Was making comments on other users blogs and ran into this error,


Warning: httpdocs/blogs/includes/class.phpmailer.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in docs/blogs/pages/blog/showpost.php on line 103

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening cs/blogs/includes/class.phpmailer.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in httpdocs/blogs/pages/blog/showpost.php on line 103

Not to self! Fix tomorrow Read Full Post

2 of the things I would like to roll out this week are static pages and sort order for those pages, as well as a sort order for the bategories - we should use the new ajax drag and drop thing for this

What else? Oh yeah, I would like to show the amount of views and amount of comments next to the blog entries (Without having to view the details) so that users can see which are the most active, and which have the interest at a glance.

Hmmmm on a roll - don't forget about "My Google Maps" (Not going to post me idea here cause I like it and I'm greedy, you guys will see it soon)

Better Digg, Delicious graphics / links for new design - also look at other social networking sites.

REW Client blogs - we are ready, (Almost) so we need to make sure… Read Full Post
