Feature Prioritization for ICE v1.2
The first version of ICE was released to support Wordpress 2.6 (2.6.2 to be exact). After a few weeks of fighting an authentication issue on the SVN repository for plugins, I started to share it via the Wordpress plugin gallery on Oct 18, 2009. Since that time almost 800 people have downloaded it and almost 2,000 visits have been logged to my site looking to learn more about it. It was also recently featured as one of 40 exceptional “CMS Enabling” Wordpress plugins by Noupe.
I have been slowly adding more features / functionality to ICE and hope to release an update within 1 – 2 weeks of the pending release of Wordpress 2.8. The following is a list of items which are already either implemented or on track to be for that timeframe.
I will never try to build a perfect website again!
In exploring the approach to development I had for my own website, I recognized that I was serially redesigning it and proverbially spinning my wheels. The unfortunate part of this vicious cycle is that it was all manufactured by me – the site, the content and perception that the obstacles were insurmountable. So last weekend I decided to leverage what I could from my existing efforts (css, images, javascript) and start fresh building on top of a strong theme framework base – Thematic. I did so with a new approach to the design, development and writing for the site. In this post, I explain why for my own personal sites / projects I have come to the conclusion that I will never try to build a perfect website again.
