Features are being churned out everyday for the past 2 weeks. I’ve been able to:
- Redesign the side so that the navagation menu is at the top rather then at the side to save space.
- Implement tag and song boxes, sort out their admin sections
- Implement comments for news, this includes editing, deleting and adding
- Implement a comments page which enables an admin to approve comments that have been made
- Introduce side boxes; just simple blocks that contain things such as tags for the news, meta data for the site, comments that require moderating, user login and logout
- Implement a user logging in and out system.
I’m going to focus alot more on adding things such as digg, delicious and other social networking integrations. I’ll also be focusing more on my report.

Managed to publish and compile a survey for Musecast, pinpointing certain problems of the site.

Managed to really tidy up the admin panel, in particular the Podcast manager section. I’ve tried to keep the amount of links and functions to a minimum and have the rest hidden via css and javascript. Below shows the songs and tag section doing just that. I’ve also added navigation on the top of the page so users can go back to the main page via the top, and the links on the side as well

Was contacted by my client saying that he had moved his server into a Linux based server meaning it is possible for me to use PHP and MySQL to create the website in.
With PHP and MySQL, it means I do not need to spend time learning ASP and can focus more time on prototyping.

Just started using a new browser called Flock. Its a social web browser. It is nicely integrated with a few popular services such as flickr, blogs as well as social tagging sites. Anyway, here’s a snippet of what it is
Flock is an amazing new web browser that makes it easier to share media and connect to other people online. Share photos, automatically stay up-to-date with new content from your favorite sites, and search the Web with the most advanced Search Toolbar available today.
Flock — the social web browser
And I used Flock to do the above, so its pretty cool in terms of quoting other websites with ease. Not to mention dragging random photos and all like my recent photo
So yeah, pretty good atm, will continue to use it.

I have marked your PID and given you an overall grade of B+ (14+31+17) and the following comments
- Good start but needs more on goals and outcomes for the project
- I might focus the project on making recommendations to redesign the site to aid promotion
- I would certainly make the emphasis more of the “Musecast as Case Study” approach we discussed
- I would like to see proof that you are using “The Perpetual Beta” approach you discuss
- Glad you are blogging – I am reading
- Your catalogue of technical influences is very broad and I remain unconvinced that you will need all of them
- Your project plan seems to be mainly a list of what a plan is – avoid this sort of boilerplating.
- The risks section is particularly standard (and therefore unhelpful)
This is certainly not a bad PID but I want to see more real progress on the project.

Very pleased with my initial PID grade, will definitely need to start focusing on ensuring that the site is in a state that is ready for public as soon as possible to ensure I can use the Perpetual Beta approach on the public.

Ok, hopefully the LAST blog pimping up session for a long time. It’s definitely distracting me from doing other stuff haha. Anyway, I managed to update the theme a little bit more, features now include:
- New subtitle bit at the top, had to shave the header padding a bit more to compensate the subtitle.
- Dates are now shown on the right of each post via the calender type thing. This makes more room for category and meta bits under the header
- Changed the header a bit, didnt like the rounded edge thing so I changed it to a normal heading, juiced up the size a bit too
- Used a bit more of the random text plugin, some very subtle ones though, I’m sure you can find them quite easily.

Today I managed to beef up my museboard signature to include several site profiles. I designed the signature in a way so that it looks like a tag cloud in reality its just alot of size tags and all. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that im quite sick of the old banner sig now, and I wanted to generate more people reading this blog. Seems like a waste when noone reads this blog haha.
As well as that, I managed to sign up to a few things, most of them are ones I’ve meaning to sign up for a long long time but never had time to because I’ve already signed up to loads of things already, but anyway, they include:
i’ve also previous signed up to several additional things including:
and google analytics too lazy to add an image for that
I must say, some of them are pretty useful to sign up to. Will add some more detail about each one of them in future. They’re all pretty useful
