Website Brainstorming

From LSW

Let's talk about what to do with our new WordPress installation on http://thelsw.org

If you would like an account to be able to post on the site, ask Josh Neff, Steve Lawson, Laura Crossett, or Iris Jastram and we will set you up.

Ideas?

• I plan to make pages (rather than posts) to document some of the projects I have done in the name of the LSW in the past: the zines, the LFPL fundraiser, Shovers and Makers. -SL
• I'd like to see a sidebar that links to LSW stuff elsewhere: the original wiki, this wiki, FriendFeed, the Meebo room, LinkedIn, etc. -SL

I just added those all to the Blogroll and then attempted to move them all into a category called LSW Links, only I can't get that to stick to most of them at the moment, because WP is fighting with me today. -LX

• I'm currently moving over most of the original wiki pages, although I'm sort of wondering if perhaps this is a stupid idea and we should just have the link to the old spot. -LX

I just did a little rearranging and created some sidebar navigation to clean up the horizontal list. Still needs work. -LX

• I just changed the permalink structure to something more human readable. Go ahead, shoot me. ;p -LX
• I installed a backup plugin and a mobile phone plugin. -Sheriff
• I would love to have the site be more social, maybe using the Mingle plugin. Not right away, but at some point. -Sheriff
• ThemeFilter: There's some whacky stuff going on on this page. Running it through a validator doesn't look good, but I don't have the energy to figure it out at the moment.

I like the current theme, but I don't really like the colors. I'd rather it looked more like this: (-Sheriff)
