A bit of reflection on this little blog engine which i built for fun, but now i am using it a bit more serious for blogging.
There are a lot of restrictions at the moment:
1. not possible to use images
2. no RSS feed
3. limited editor of content - mainly a edit box which accepts HTML code
4. no categories tagging
5. text displayed not fully aligned, specially numbered lists
6. <code> tag should have text white on black
7. some code clean up, fix bugs and missing bits.
Just to name a few things that come to my mind at the moment.
But it just "works", i am not trying to make a perfect blog management thing, only something that works for me. And along the way to have a bit of fun writing, using it and of course improving it while learning.
For the moment the focus will now be the focus on the easy ones, the last three on the above list.
Number 5 and 6 are most likely simple changes to the CSS properties to have them the way i like. And number 7 will be a bit of code cleaning, removing some unneeded code and refactor in some places.
Then i will probably look at number 2 as i can see around most blogs have a RSS feed available, so that will look into next.
Number 1, 3 and 4 seem to be quite big (in my little world) task so probably will need to break them into smaller pieces.
Lets see how this will move along.
