still tinkering away with the basic pages! I need to stop, and add some content before I drive myself mad...I think I'm happy enough with the blue print pages, need to make some choices on the photo album but I need to do some major collecting on suitable photo's for many plays anyway so the photo pages will tag along later mostly.
I'm pretty pleased with the Playbill feature I added, anyone reading here, please go ahead and have a look! any and all comments on the whole site are welcome of course. I'm particularly interested in any comments on the playbill, which photo album is preferable and which blog-page ... I've integrated this blog in two different ways into the page, am not really satisfied with either but one of them will have to do I think. Also have a look at my attempt at creating a 'tag cloud'!
anyway... I will move along with content in the meantime, probably Dublin Carol will be next and for the Artist... I think I'll go with Michael Gambon.

the issues
the things you didn't know you wanted until you find out it's hard to implement... then suddenly you NEED to have them!
So my website building experiment has run into some issues... one of course that the project is growing way to big, so much work to be done while my mind is stuck on tinkering with the blue print pages.
apart from that apparently I am expecting too much... I want to incorporate this blog into the website, that looks like a fairly simple thing to accomplish, next I want to have a blog tag cloud that is relevant to the specific site pages to appear on those pages... so for instance on the Blackbird Page there should be a little tag cloud containing "Blackbird, Victory Gardens, David Harrower, William Petersen, Mattie Hawkinson, Dennis Zacek etc" with those tags taking you directly to the Blog tag cloud so you can cross reference easily... I have yet to find a way to make such a little specific tag cloud appear on the regular site pages. Working on a few ideas but I'm not sure my mind or imagination is as logical as the world of bits and bytes to put it mildly.
Next up to tackle the challenge of adding playbills to the play-pages... without making visitors wait too long for the site to load.
