Jeramay-
This rocks so far. A few questions for tweaking the network:
- Podpress does not support direct uploading of files, correct? It looks like we have to add media to the media gallery, grab the media URL, and add that URL when building the podcast. Not a huge deal, but it would be nice if podpress supported direct uploading
- Steve and I will work out how we’re going to create user accounts. We’re still not totally certain about this as our students don’t all have their own school domain email accounts. I wish we could come up with a way to get them all an email address, as this was such a slick way to create an account and blog and I think it will work well for students. At a minimum, could we supply you with a list of user names /temporary passwords that you could upload into the database?
- Themes-would you add as many themes as possible to the system? I’d like our users to have many themes available to them.
- Front page-I totally dig what you did with that Urban Milwaukee site…will you build up some type of really cool front end like that for us?? I really want to make this cool so our students and teachers use it and buy into it…our students will be pretty excited the front/login page has a really modern/web2.0ish look and feel…front page should show login area, recent blog updates, 10 most recent posts if possible, photo gallery from the middle school flickr account
- I noticed that each blog is limited to 100 MB of storage…is there any way we can crank this up, or did you just choose a default for starters?
- User Profiles…can we have the ability to add a picture/avatar to the profiles??
- Aggregating network wide blogs by either categories and/or tags. This is something we’ll need so teachers can quickly and easily track student blogs/posts.
- What about embedding YouTube videos and other related media directly in posts?? Anarchy media plugin is probably needed. Perhaps a plugin like this one might work: http://wpmudev.org/project/Anarchy-Media-Player
