Layout
Meanwhile, I did some thinking last night about layout, and I pulled together a fairly solid data model (I believe).
The site will (eventually) have the following main content Types:
News
Opinions
Reviews
People
Explanations
Talk
Each of these will cover multiple Subjects.
There will be multiple sources, including both contributing Authors and syndicated feeds.
It will be principally Date based.
[Yeah, it's basically four-dimensional. But the navigation works! Trust me!]
I've laid out a nice basic ezine front page, plus similar Type index pages. I've also done some preliminary layout for the main article/review pages. I was principally inspired by National Review Online and BBC News. Though a number of open source CMS/Portal frameworks also had a noticeable influence.
I'm about ready to code.
