I Have Things Straight
Okay. So last night I couldn't sleep, and I got to thinking. I think I have things straight in my mind, now.
Some brainstorming produced the following lists:
Content Sources
Me
Syndicates
Special Guests
Other Websites
Affiliates
Technologies
Linux
Apache
mySQL
PHP
XML
Features
Opinions
Reviews
News
Links
Updates

Miscellanea

Commerce

Rings
Furthermore, the planning I did following this brainstorming made the structure, purpose and behavior of the site much clearer in my mind. I came to a conclusion: This is not (at least for now) a "community portal". Almost all of the CMSs I looked at were geared toward community sites, and thus are not appropriate.
I've fooled around with some data models, and I know where I'm going and that I'm building most of it myself.
