New features! You waited Long enough – Learn about them here!
Author: Andrew Jamison | Filed under: NewsOk so I have been going on about new features for this site for a while now, I am now happy to elaborate on a few of them. First off let me say that this has and still is a grueling process and will be finalized as soon as possible.
I am going to break this post into 3 categories, Completed features, possible features, planned but not yet fully implemented features
Completed Features
- Move the word-press instance to my single unified WP master install. (increase performance due to reduced resource load on the server)
Planned Features
- Allow users to create a blog on this instance of WP
- Restoration of the screen capture feature (revamped and very much less chaotic)
- Domain name change (old domain will continue to work and be renewed) to support the upcoming features pertaining to non Category5 content (see below)
- Forum for fan-site users
- Latest tech trends (links and summaries of the buzz around the tech realm) – not the same as the Cat5 news room
- Gamers Advocacy section (will contain real legit email addresses to forward spam to for games like WoW so the devs can shut the spammers down)
- New more appropriate theme for the changes
Possible Features
- A music player that will allow you to listen to music while you browse, including Robbie Ferguson’s Bands music (provided he gives permission)
- A list of indy musicians I found on Jamendo that are worth checking out (some of those artists are fantastic).
- Product reviews
- Quote of the week poll (vote on your favorite Tech quote of the week either from the show or not)
- Interviews with popular Tech community members such as Robbie, Chris Pirillo and more (provided i can line them up) – this is the reason for the site domain change
All that and much more planned which is still to sketchy to talk about now.
So basically let me put it this way folks, Category5 Fansite will become much more then a fansite. My hope is to make this site not only a companion site to Category5 but a source of some unique information as well. If you have any comments, suggestions let me know.
Keep in mind the only features that are definite are those in the Planned Features section. If I can manage the logistics I will try to incorporate them all.
