PT Blog backend
After a bit more work I now have a fully working blog/article writing section that is fully integrated into Price Tapestry. A few minor improvements are still needed, as with most software changes, but at the moment there is a 100% working version that is simple to use.I've added some screen shots below of what it currently looks like from the Admin side of things. The front end can change depending on how you want it to look on your site, but the backend, although changeable through CSS, there's really no need to apart from the colour scheme to match your site.
I have a few future updates already in mind and I'm sure once those are done I will come up with another one or two.
Future changes that I need to make to this are:
- SEO tags such as description and keywords
- An image box where you place the URL of the image and it appears in one set place on the blog entry for better styling.
- On the blog list, add a pager function so that you don't scroll down constantly if you have hundreds of entries.
- Deleting an entry (low priority)
- Add the date of the entry on the main blog list (low priority)

With regards to the front end that uses will see, a few updates are needed. These include adding an archive, which is simple enough to add in, and adding a monthy archive which is a bit more challenging as I want this to update with a new link everytime a new article/blog entry is added into a new month. For the time being though a standard archive system will work whilst I continue working on other improvements.
