When it rains it pours

1. When I make new sites I always start anew with logos. It just sets the tone, let's me focus on the new. I just assumed that you were going to overhaul everything but if you want the keep it, that's fine.

THEN AGAIN, you can use the logo change as an excuse to involve readers and make it into a contest. Oops! The that's the marketing gal speaking.


2. Are we sticking to just about blogging? I had to scale down on my typing and work only on one site due to carpal tunnel syndrome. So I thought, given I write about alternative life and social practices, why not write some about this one. I'm sure there are a few RFBlogistanis out there suffering as well.


3. I have also been thinking desing thoughts and been trolling for CSS ideas and some notes on my trials and tribulations with boxes. So I'll tackle some of that too.


4. I'll start working on the templates this week. What I normally do is create templates called NEW* so that I can test them with the content.

a. Are you keeping the color scheme?

b. Each writer has a page or do we put us all in one? Pixs included?

c. Do you want to keep the blog look or do deparments?

d. I recommend putting the comments and trackbacks on the same page as the articles for these reasons. How do you feel about that?


5. How do we do related articles? With trackbacks? I've been working on an essay on the failure of Rhizome.org as a true rhizome and why trackbacks are the thing for that.


I can't think of anything else. Anyways... just holler.

Design and Style: When I visit other bloghosts, I notice that a lot of the pages have small graphical buttons, usually in the shape of a small post-it note, with the "logo" of the originating page on them.
