Admin Screenshots

Here are some screenshots of the admin area of the site.

Admin Home Page
The home page lists the same posts as the home page of the site. The pencil icon will take you to an edit post page, the lock icon with hold or publish the selected post (using a gifStream, no page refresh) and the delete icon will ask you if you're sure that's really what you want to do :). Under each post, you can see all the related comments. The block icon next to the IP allows you to ban that particular IP. The edit, hold/publish and delete icons work the same.

Posts
This is the post listing. You can perform a lot of the same actions as the home page, including hold and publishing posts directly from this page. Clicking the pencil icon takes you to the edit post page.

Edit Post
This page is pretty simply. Edit a post, hold/publish it, and view all of the comments. You can hold and publish comments and block/unblock IPs for comments from this page as well (gotta love that gifStream).

The comments and edit comments pages are essentially the same as the posts and edit posts pages. I have most of the user admin stuff done, and the banned IPs section is complete. Still working on options and RSS Config and such.

Got a calendar?

I'm trying to find a good (and hopefully free) ASP Calendar system I can adapt for my blog. I'm going to try and put something together that will let me filter by month/week/day by clicking appropriate links in the calendar. Looks like I'm going to be playing with lots of date manipulation.

If anyone has an idea of good solutions, feel free to leave a comment :)

Chicken and Noodles

Just got back from a weekend in Eugene with Kris' mom. Ate way too much chicken and noodles and had a hard time staying awake on the drive home, but as you can see, I made it.

When I could stay connected via their dialup for more than 5 minutes at a time, I made some good progress on the back-end admin of the blog. Got comment and post admin all done (except for categories) and got some ideas on other features. Once I get the feature list distilled to what I think is realistic, I'll be releasing it to the public for comment. Keep your eyes on here for more info :)
