[pLog-svn] Suggestions for PLOG team

[nick nizhenyuan]

Hi, guys

I am really glad to see that my email-box is filled with the mails
from you, and one of my pleasure is to open my mail box and find that
more and more new changes are undergoing.

You are so great because of the spirit of sharing.

I use plog since last year, but actually I haven't contribute one
sigle word to the code because I am not familiar with PHP , I think
what I can do is to share my experiences and idears all about plog to
the team, and wish that can bu useful.

Introduce my site first, www.vVlogger.com, built with plog 1.0  and
got 1500 users now since set up 2 months ago. I will write my idears
and suggestions got from these two months and hope that will be
userful for Plog to ge more popular.

Suggestions :

1, Plog should be more easier to use. This is the most important issue
currently worried me. A lot of users says it's too complicated to use.
To us, who are familiar with computer and Plog, It's easy to use. But
to others, it's not:)

It's not so difficult to solve it. First ,just rearranging the admin
menu will work.
You can look at BSP from China http://www.yculblog.com/my.php?= "
(username: ameng pass:123456). There are two columns, left one for
menu and the right one for admin page. secondly, making some pluggins
site configurabal, I mean that administrator can open some pluggins
such as recentcomment/mostread  instead inform the user to do it.

2, Performance should be improved. Especially when entering the admin
page, the new post page is a bit slow.

3, Global BLOG Category and Global Article Category.

I saw that it has been put into bugs system, but nobody adopt it until now.

The above three issues are urgent to a Bsp like vVlogger now. But I am
not sure wether it is also important to a standalone blogger.

Idears:

Buddlist:
The persons who blog has a great willingness to communicate with
others on the web, so a buddlist will make plog users associated
together.

AutoSearch:
This idear got from google adsense, A blogger can set up some keywords
to demostrate what he is interested. And PLOG will search the
correspondding article and displayed the titles got to blogger's
homepage.

uni-id:
This idear got from Drupal, the users can use uni-id to log in all
sites built with drupal all around the world, that openness is so
great :)


Above is some of my thoughts.

At last, I have to say :

Thanks for your great work!
 


Best regards.
