I have a website that runs on wordpress: http://tinyurl.com/l3z8j7 and
the theme I use is Aperture from Woothemes. The site has an adult nature.
I need to have a number of tasks done :
1) Would like a page where a new person can go to get started. This should be a page which aggregates specific posts tagged “get started”. I believe that the plugin called “AZIndex” (already in the plugnins on the site – not activeted yet. ) can do this. Check out the website http://azindex.englishmike.net/ to see if this plugin will work for that.
- either install and setup this plugin to allow me to create a page that aggregates all the posts marked “getting started”
- or-
- find another way to do this
–> the task is complete when a page is created that aggregates these particular posts, shows a short exceprt of the post as well as the picture associated with the post
2)Archives Page:
- problem: the theme comes with a standard archives page template, which doesn’t seem to be working
–> the task is complete when the archives page works as seen in woothemes.com demo of the theme
3) Newsletter Sign-Up Page:
- the problem: the code from aweber for capturing a name and e-mail address from a visitor doesn’t fit well into the theme.
–> the task is completed when the sign up page text fits the CSS for a page in the theme (font, formating, etc.)
4) Post Template: “Site Review”
- idea: to have a special posting template to be used for reviewing sites. This template should always have certain specific content sections (standard information about the type of site being reviewed…I will send you the content fields for this) displayed at the beginning of each post, before the actual text review of the website. The standard content block can be of slightly different colored background and have a frame around it – see the example of “RabbitsReviews.com” given in the video. The template should also have the same image resizer and image association function as the other posts do in the theme. This will then allow a picture to be associated and displayed for the post when it is being aggregated on a page.
–> the task is completed when a post template is created that has a standard layout and content sections as described and discussed. This template can be used to create posts and that these can be aggregated on a page with an associated image….as described in the next task
5) Aggregation Page for Site Reviews
- the idea: I would like to have a page which aggregates the sites reviewed (each site is reviewed as a post). This page would normally call the most recent 10 sites reviewed on the first displayed page but would offer an arrow at the bottom to see more pages (each page with 10 site review posts displayed). The aggregated site review posts will be excerpts of the first 40 words from the post plus the headline, the associated image will be shown to the right of the text, and the complete excerpt will be framed with a light-colored dotted. PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING DEMO SITE AS AN EXAMPLE: http://www.studiopress.com/demo/streamline.html (the posts listed, below the picture are a good example of what I mean)
special filter function: it will be necessary to have a filter function that users could use that would call up and list sites based upon specific grouping data (listed sites would be displayed looking the same as described above). For example, a user could filter and see only sites rated at 4 stars and above, or sites that have contests to particiapte it. The filtering/sorting criteria would be drawn form the “standardized fields” described in the special post template above.
–> the task is complete when a page is created that can aggregate and display these posts as descibed above and discussed as well as when the filtering/sorting function works.
6) Post Template: “Couples”
- the idea: to have template which has certain standardized fields to use when reviewing couples. This template should always have certain specific content sections (I will provide you with this information).This is very similar to the “site review” template, in essence. One important function/feature of this template is that it should allow for is that there should a large space at the top for featureing a picture or embedding a video form the couple…this should look similar to the On Demand theme, shown in the video.
–> the task is complete when the post template is completed as described.
7)CSS For Text:
the benchmark for the text usage and legibility is http://www.problogger.com
Standard post text should have the following charcteristcs:
- font: Verdana or Tahoma
- font-size: 1.4 em;
- line-height: 1.6 em;
- margin: 0 0 1.5;
–> task is complete when blog text changes made to CSS
Post Template (for all types of posts)
- the idea: to include more information about the author at the end of post (short author blurb, I’ll provide these as well as description of look and feel), have similar or recommended posts in order to keep reader reading on the blog, buttons that allow the post to be “Tweeted” or added to Facebook
–> the task is complete when at the end of each post the author blurb, 3 similar posts are suggested (these should be inserted to the left side between the “previous post” and “next post” and a “tweet this” and “add to facebook” buttons are displayed also on the left side, below the “next post” link

I need someone to start work on this and finish the majority of these tasks in TWO days.
