I have a very exact vision in mind for this personal goal and project planning site concept.

Im using a selection of plugins for the first time and I hope that most can be ultimately customized and removed into a core theme concept.

I have zero time to put into the window dressing of the site right now and as long as I can read it I will be happy.

This Lab Post will be used to keep up with changes to the base Skeleton Framework as I make my own child theme and eventually hopefully package it all into a themed theme concept that can be re-used by those with similar mindsets.

Some initial additions I know I will appreciate are:

  1. A very precise typography style that is more in line with the clean, very readable styles I appreciate at sites like DIYThemes.com, CopyBlogger.com , Yoast.com, HubSpot.com etc.
  2. Custom Fields used to mark a “Problem” as Solved or a Goal as Completed that will have a visual representation in archive pages and posts – perhaps even searchable – I have done this before for a wine classification system, but hell if I remember how.
  3. Ajax powered (or something else) lateral navigation for quickly jumping through the scribbles, notes, snaps sections
  4. Custom Category based Calls To Actions that explain the purpose of the site or section to someone who may wander in. I wouldn’t want someone landing on a personal problem or error page and blindly thinking my solution is an authoritative answer when most will likely be works in progress
  5. An easy exercise/weight/diet tracking system for the body section. I wouldn’t be surprised if this has been handled well by a plugin designer already. But, I will need to search and test.
