  <title>Pyblosxom TODO</title>

  <description><![CDATA[
<p>Things I still need to install and test before I decide on Pyblosxom as my
blogging platform:</p>

<ul>
<li>comments and captchas</li>
<li><strike>the readmore plugin</strike> (because my entries are often long)</li>
</ul>

<p>There's also a very long list of things I'd like to do if I decide on Pyblosxom:
</p>

<ul>
<li>Fix autumn flavor sidebar's tagcloud and calendar formatting</li>
<li>Try out other flavors</li>
<li>Try out other plugins: googlestats.py, pydelicious.py</li>
<li>Fix the date on each entry to display time as well as date.</li>
<li>Add one of those nifty RSS icons with a link to the RSS flavor</li>
<li>Add a creatives common link on the sidebar, since that's what this blog is
licensed under</li>
<li>Add more links to the sidebar.  Do I want to link to minilop.net as my
homepage, or can I whip something up in Pyblosxom?  It's a shame to redirect
people to Jamey's very plain homepage at minilop.net.</li>
<li>Figure out how to add a meta-page for all tags like on the blog of <a
href="http://www.timfanelli.com/blog/">the guy who created the Folksonomy
plugin</a>.  The populartagcloud variable will create a tag cloud with the
most used tags, but I want people to be able to see all the tags also.</li>
<li>Create a plugin to display mood icons for each entry.  It's a little dorky and
reminiscent of Livejournal.  I might hate it, so I should inline images in
the entries first to try it out.</li>
<li>Create a plugin to automatically create icons for each entry.  I like the eye candy,
but it might be too much graphics for the site.  Might not look professional?</li>
<li>Create an image gallery?  I'd like to host my own images.  I currently host some of
them on flickr, picasaweb, and photobucket.  Jamey's server doesn't have much
storage, so I'll probably stick with picasaweb until we get a rack in the
colo-coop.  Yet another bit of information I provide Google; it's a good
thing they're not evil. ;)</li>
</ul>

<p>That list seems really long.  However, when I compare the current layout with my
Livejournal layout, I have to say that I like my Pyblosxom layout better.  It
flows better and it looks very clean.  The sidebar looks much better in
Pyblosxom.  The tags look nicer in a tagcloud rather than in a list and the page
summary on Livejournal is just useless.</p>

<p>I love being able to customize my blog!  I started installing Pyblosxom on
Friday night, and now it's <strike>Saturday night</strike>, er, Sunday morning
and I have an almost complete blog.  I think that says something about
Pyblosxom. :)</p>
