Your CMS looks a bit spartan. :) Most of the modern systems take care of the miscellaneous stuff like managing drafts, publishing to site, generating RSS feed, and posting to Twitter, Facebook, Digg, and other social networks.

Have a look at WordPress, for example. You'll have not three, but two buttons - Save and Publish. And you'll have lots of control over what you want your CMS to do when you push either one of them.

And now I've just made a stupid ass out of myself. Sorry. :)

It would be nice to have links to the services that you describe. Googling them is easy, but clicking links on this page would have been much easier. Thanks for review. :)

Additionally, I always keep confusing myself with single/plural forms. Should I mark tag this picture at Flickr as "car" or "cars", "sport" or "sports"? I keep thinking differently depending on the time of day. My del.icio.us tag cloud is full of things like "tag", "tags", and "tagging" ("feed", "feeds", "rss", "atom", "syndication", "aggregation")...

Good job!

Two suggestions:

Make the page selection a dropdown with available pages, not a textfield. Similar to the way the Page Parent is selected.

</li>
<li>

Make the plugin work with posts too.

</li>
</ol>

With the above to points implemented, it'll be a killer plugin for all of us having (or thinking about having) blogs in multiple languages. :)

1. Readability. This is mostly for the selection of fonts, sizes, colors, backgrounds, line and paragraphs spacing, and things like that.

2. Support for plenty of in-post formatting - images, nested quotes, bold, links, pre/code blocks and stuff like that.

3. Support for widgets and plugins out of the box. FlickrRSS, del.icio.us stuff, ShareThis, Google Adsense, Google Analytics, etc. The less I need to do and the more things work out of the box, the better. Famous "Cutline" theme has some nice implementations, including a custom.css support for easier upgrades.

4. SEO.

5. AJAX goodies - they look and feel so good, when done right... :)

That's about it...

Tony,

you don't sound like a very social person (in the digital sense of the word). Otherwise you'd mention what were your choices for Flickr, del.icio.us, and Upcoming.

Delicious does it for me. I started using it back when it came out and made a mess out of it. Then, because of a mess, I thought that it wasn't all that good, so I moved to alternatives - anything from browser bookmarks to Digg and Google Notes. Eventually, I came back to Delicious, sorted out my bookmarks, cleaned up my tags, brushed up my network, and now I am a happy man. I don't think I'll be moving anywhere else any time soon.
