Now that I have Django installed and ready to rock for www.worthless-stuff.com, I need to sit back and really think about how I want to design the site and what functionality should be there from the beginning. So here are a few things that I have decided I really want:

1. I want the site to be easy to maintain, hence the reason I went with Django
2. I’m going to use blueprintcss which can be found here at google. It just makes life a lot easier.
3. I want the site to be in the style of a blog, with the following features:
   • Each entry should have the ability to upload a picture, should be able to be voted on (haven’t come up with what the criteria is yet), and be tagged.
   • On the home page, I want the layout to be three column with the bulk of the content on the left hand side.
   • The main page should have at the most, the last five entries. So that means we are going to have to use Django pagination.
   • Each entry needs to have it’s own RSS feed, and the comments should have an RSS feed as well.
   • The site should have a date based archive, a most viewed archive, and most interesting archive
   • Surfers should be able to search the site by the tag.
   • And of course any other feature that we feel needs to be implemented. Yes, that means I need your help in coming up with cool features, just drop me an email would you?

So those are our features for the new website, and I’m sure as we design and build we are going to come up with other interesting concepts to include.
