Podcasting Paradise: The Rebuild

I have not mentioned many of the other project I work on.  For the most part I have way too many for a normal sane person.  However, there is one project that I keep close to my heart.  I am basically obsessed with podcasts.  I know that it is the future of television and there is so much content out there that is free.

I took this passion and decided to create a podcast directory.  I wanted it to be more than just a regular directory though.  I wanted there to be a community aspect to the site.  So Podcasting Paradise was born.

From where I last left off, I was really not happy with the site.  Not because of I thought the site was bad, but I lacked the design skills necessary to really make a site that was functional and pleasing to the eye.

So last night I decided I was going to jump right back into this site and improve the entire site.  I am adding a nice menu system so that navigation on the site is much improved.  I also am going to be redoing the entire layout of the site so that it has a more functional and visually appealing.

The raw code of the site is also going to be getting a major overhaul.  I made a lot of poor design decisions with the site and those issues just need to be rectified.  Specifically I made the entire site in a top down code design with no objects at all.  The code is simply a mess.  So that is on the list as well.

Overall it is a pretty major overhaul to the site and I think the improvements will greatly enhance the success of the site.  What I really need is a way to get information about every podcast on the internet.  That is a whole other beast all together.
