New Site Design Features

Contrary to the popular belief that I’ve been sitting around Houston doing nothing, that hasn’t been the case. I’m always learning or doing something new - whether it be getting my real estate license or getting Cisco certified. To further development of my skills, and to give me a project to do, I’m going to fully re-design this website. Here is a list of features that I’m going to base the upcoming design off of.

Code:
- Standards based upon XHTML 1.1 and CSS 2.1
- Consider additional “light” design based on XHTML Mobile 1.1 and CSS Mobile Profile 2.0
- Framework based on PHP 5.2, MySQL 5.0, and Prototype Javascript 1.6
- Dynamically generated and updated sitemap based upon 0.9 schema.

Design:
- Web 2.0 Design
- Use of AJAX with “Unique URLs” Nixed idea due to SEO
- Tags along with dynamic Tag Cloud
- Feeds published using both RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0
- Favicon

Posts:
- Online bookmarks submission (eg: Digg, del.icio.us, etc.)
- Individual (separate) META tags for each post - to be defined dynamically. Include post tags into META data.

*More coming when I get one of my brilliant ideas. If you have any suggestions, please let me know in the comment section of this post. It doesn’t even have to be something you’ve seen before.
