Marcia asked me awhile back to create a Killoggs Recipes section, and Ben has publically stated he wants more Killoggs sections before we unleash the floodgates of new members.

It struck me that, while things like reviews, sounds, news and so forth need additional fields and their own submit form, many things, like recipes, really can be submitted using the same form that a post is. Basically anything that only requires a subject field and a body field.

My idea is to come up with about 20 or so catagories that could be assigned to a post. 'Post' would be one, and this would just be the same as posts are now. 'Recipe' would be another. One could be called 'Killoggs' and it would deal with topics that are Killoggs-specific, such as this one.

My idea would be that, initially, all these post catagories would display on the front page, but then you could also look at them along with similar types of content. So, every time someone posts a Recipe, it goes on the front page. But if you want, you can JUST look at all the recipes. Easier than doing a search for 'recipe'.

Eventually, I would want to add a feature so you could filter content from the front page. So, like, it would be a situation where you could say "i want to see all catagories EXCEPT recipes". Or, "I only want to see standard, vanilla posts, not anything else." Or you could say "I never want to see another post like this one, I don't care what you add to Killoggs." This would just be for the front page, again.

What other "catagories" or "themes" would people be interested in seeing? Does this sound like a cool idea? It would be really easy to implement, since I built the catagory feature in when I wrote Killoggs, we've just never made use of it.
