Here is the view of my categories selection area on my home page. http://127.0.0.1:5335/myPictures/2002/05/19/Category.jpg?folderView=1 7:52:59 PM

I hope that we will all soon have the ability to select an outline in Radio and publish it as an active outline in a weblog. We'll see. Here is one though. http://radio.weblogs.com/0104487/outlines/radioFacts.html   5:34:50 PM

WWPP Weblogs Design Notes 5/19/02; 4:59:11 PM by MP General approach (work flow for readers and authors) to weblogs Read your selected news feeds on PP Collect into your weblog the news feets that your readers will be interested in (by category) Add comments so that your readers understand enough context for meaning To what extend can we manage and standardize across all WWPP "members" in Radio and/or in Manilla: categories in their home page category pages News feeds (by category/) E-mail addresses for questions More intuitive icons for subscription to news feeds and active outlines Font and text size HOME PAGE should include: Six Aims Ten simple rules Links to a very navigable (interactive outline?, graphical interface?) summary of Whatcom consortiums plans. Don't categories need home pages with lots of links, not just to weblogs? Home page should list each category including "Home Page" to which this post is sent. We need to be able to delete logs from Category pages without going back to find them in the long list on the home page. When ever deleting there needs to be the choice of which pages (category pages) you want to delete it from. When a post is edited, one should be given the opportunity to leave it where it was in the series of logs or to move it up to the current date, either deleting the old one or just adding a current new one with the old one left in place (corrected or not) How do you clean up edited posts? Where are all of the old ones? Which ones are actually changed with edits, especially when new categories are added and old ones are deleted on the edit? My guess is that the changes (edits) are made only if the category is selected at the time of the edit. Amazing, it will bring in MSWord formatting including hi-lighting! A blessing and a curse I am sure. Need to track who our readers are so we can respond to their interests. 5:09:23 PM

We need something akin to a site map for Whatcom PP that show what and who a user can link to. 1:42:45 PM

Searching appropriately, Our next big challenge is to get a search engine in our implementation of Radio and Manilla so that it does what the customer would expect: search the current author's category, the current author's entire web site, the entire Whatcom Community’s category or all local Radio PP sites, and then the WWPP by the same aggregates. One would also want to be able to search by any combination of organizations, categories, and authors. This represents design perspective as well as a search strategy. 1:40:56 PM
