So here we go, lets make this a legit presentation by showing a chart.

So according to that chart, we have 4 major sections and here they are in outline form:

  1. Blog
  2. Wiki
    1. Tutorials
  1. i.      This will include any and all tutorials I have created over the years and in the future. I will be able to organize a wiki page to show links to each tutorial and then the tutorials themselves.
  2. i.      Here I will be able to create a list of new technologies, a synopsis about them, useful resources I have found for them, and any experiences I have with them. This will be useful for obscure things that I don’t use all the time like RDFa or cryptographic things like SHA encoding etc.
  3. i.      Going to use a Flickr module/plugin to showcase the artwork I have done over the years.
  4. i.      Link list to demo sites and past web work.
    1. Technology
  1. Portfolio
    1. Art
    1. Web Work
  1. About Me
    1. Resume
    2. Background
    3. Contact

The Blog, which will be powered by the standard blog features of WordPress. This will incorporate a few different RSS and link log widgets that WordPress has available.

The Wiki, which will most likely be DotWiki or another external php module that I will integrate into the site. DotWiki is a new module I have heard on the grapevine, and if it doesn’t work then the whole standard mediawiki thing will probably be the direction I go. Integration will include one user login, so the tables/php code will need to be adjusted to work for that.

The Portfolio, this will be a Flickr style image gallery widget and a link list of some sort linking to demo sites/launched sites of web work I have done. There are a few of these advertised on the WordPress site and I will be testing out various ones till I get one that I like. Mainly I will be looking for easy ability to upload and a thumbnail/expansion feature that will let me show a preview of an image and then expand it to full quality/size. This will also be useful for the blogging functions of the site.

About Me, this will be just standard WordPress pages.

Finally, there will be a custom WordPress theme and themes for external modules I use to tie them all together. The goal will be to make it seem like even external modules are still on the same site as to not confuse users coming to my site.

All in all I think this will be a healthy amount of content for my site to begin with. I am sure as I am building it more things I will want to do will come up.

Time to find my hard hat and get to work….Up first, design layout ideas.
