Building this website is complex. Adding the various sections and building the code to make it all work. For instance, the home page section “Things to Remember Today” has to have a piece of code for each day of the year. This takes time. I have recently added the music and listening sections, but I want to add more. Hence, creating this “To Do” task list that will never get finished. However, it will help me focus on what to do next.
The “Web Design To Do List” (In no particular order)
- Create a section to display some memories.
- Create a “work” section. Not sure if this would work—no pun intended. Need to think about this a little longer
- Add a new section to the home page to be used as a Whiteboard. This could be achieved using a new custom post type with custom taxonomies. These can be pulled through via shortcodes.
The “Content To Do List” (In no particular order)
- Start to create a post finding one song for each year of my life.
- Add some items to the remembering section. These snippets show on the front page on relevant dates.
The Completed “Web Design To Do List” (Backdated a little!)
- Remove the daily and yearly logs
- Change the workings of the monthly logs
- Create a single log entry for the previous incarnation of David’s Day (Bulleted)
- Add a notes section, making each note “noindex” in Google’s eyes and creating the code so that the notes will sit at the bottom of relevant pages, thereby adding to the content for that page.
- Create an HTML Sitemap page
- Add “noindex” to the posts in the old “remembering” section. These will now act like the notes section and automatically appear on the home page on certain dates or in the relevant monthly log.
- Add images to the main pages to give the site a visual lift.
- Create the music section. This will allow me to add two posts. One, choose a single for each year of my life and make a list of songs that mean something to me—linked to moments in my life.
- Create the “listening to” section. This is a different custom post type to the music section, but with coding, it looks like it is part of it.
- Add breadcrumbs to the top of each page, and manipulate how these work to aid in siloing the content.
- Create a 2023 Diary page
- Split the 2023 diary into two sections. First, the standard diary entries and second, what I have listened to.
- Speed up the website.
- Change the diary entries from noindex to index—we are talking SEO here—and link to the individual diary entries. Previously, these formed part of a page and not stand-alone posts.
