What Do YOU Want to See?

Input please?

As I explore more and more with WordPress, I would like to build my site more. However, the problem with this is that I don’t know what else to add. So, I turn the task to you, my amazing, insightful readers, to suggest what pages or features to add to my site that would A) make my site more interesting beyond the homepage, and B) increase my skills in website building. The more input the better (preferably in the comments section of this post). So, suggest away!

Also, content ideas would also be helpful.  If you have some ideas or topics for the site, also discuss them in the comments section.  I’d like some inspiration and know what you all want to read.  Of course, I will stick to my usual double-degree/both-sides-of-brain/writing/technology niche, but extra input would be lovely.

Here’s what I have so far for widgets/features for my site (for a reference):

  • An About page
  • A projects tab with my Rhetorical Analysis, Digital Journalism, and Final Project for my ENGL 3880 course
  • A “Follow Me” Widget that allows you to subscribe to my blog.
  • My Twitter feed, so you all can read my random rantings and some commentary about Braves baseball (which actually comprises most of my posts.)
  • My Summer reading ticker/updater.  See the previous blog post for more info on this widget.
  • My blogging buddies.  I like to spread the word and work of my friends and readers, so check these folks out.  Feel free to let me know if you want your blog in my list.  The more the merrier!  I just wish that WordPress updated the list whenever someone updates their blog, like Blogger does.
  • A tag cloud
  • Archive & page directories (basic WordPress blogging stuff)
  • A search bar (for your searching pleasure)
  • And random WordPress stuff on the bottom of the site, along with the scripture Proverbs 31:30.

Overall, I would like to figure out how to expand and stretch myself as a blogger/web designer.  The more I work, the more experience and skills I acquire.  AKA, the more fun stuff I can add to my repertoire!
