Goodbye Textpattern! I'm migrating my blog from Textpattern to ExpressionEngine, you can follow along as I blog my experience.

Re-design Step 1: Specify Requirements Friday January 14, 2005

So, I’m doing a live re-design. But… before I ditch my CSS and start fiddling with the page markup I want to take stock of what’s here and decide what will stay, and what will go. At present the site is split into three primary sections; ‘blog’, ‘source’ and ‘bio’, each of which contain sub sections:

  • home
  • blog (latest)
    • archive
    • feeds
  • source (overview)
    • dreamweaver extensions
    • fireworks extensions (and source FLAs)
    • flash extensions
    • store (?)
  • bio (overview)
    • curriculum vitae
    • contact

I’m keen to follow the ‘KISS’ approach for this re-design so it’s out with anything no one ever looks at and time to focus on the worthwhile bits.

Here’s what the revised structure might look like:

  • home (main blog content)
  • blog (archived by month and category)
  • source (?)
  • bio (overview)
    • curriculum vitae
    • contact

So, I’m pretty clear regarding the blog and bio sections, ‘bio’ will remain pretty much as is, ‘blog’ will be simplified to make finding what you’re after easier and quicker, but ‘source’... I have no idea… does anyone use this stuff? Let me know what you think.
