To-Dos on this site

Even after I’ve managed to port my sites over to Blosxom and I was pleased enough with the result to launch it to the public, I still couldn’t really say that everything was up to par as far as what I wanted to do with this site.

This page presents a list of things I still need to work on and is my personal to-do list for the nunonunes.org site.

I fully expect that this list will never be over, but it’s nice to have a place to go over and see what I can work on next when the spare time comes…

So, here is the list:

• Finish up and publish the Technorati plugin (check the tags plugin for the features I need and write new one if necessary…);
• Create photolog section (make the weblog/photography section be it?);
• Fix the RSS 2.0 feed generating plugin (“enclosures”) and make it behave appropriately with post dates that are not UTC (as is the case on my site!);
• Implement simple authentication and authorization mechanism at the level of individual nodes (and possibly whole [sub-]sections);
• Check the weblog entries from 2002 (and early 2003) for formating —many will have become one huge string of text with all the conversions they already went through;
• Install (and hack on) the lastmodified plugin with support for RSS feeds (see Heckers entry on the subject);
• Create a default page for when an article is not found and make it a search page with a “semi-intelligent” default search in place…
• Sift through all the articles and change the following items:
  • Turn all the HTML-like links into Markdown-like ones;
  • Find out all the links to earlier articles and change them to reflect the new location;
• Get the current page’s title in the HTML HEAD’s “TITLE” element. For a given article it should be easy to get the relevant title, for “magical” URLs (date/category) it should be derived from the URL itself. Making the HEAD template a dynamic entity is what the major challenge will be.
