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.

josh [email] said at 10:51 AM 02-26-2004: There is going to be a separate review section. There is also a "sounds" section already.
The second paragraph of the post:
"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."

There needs to be a way to identify people who are "infected" with canada. As for the other categories...hmmm....I would say porn, and other.
brandon [email] said at 10:50 AM 02-26-2004: Slander: I want a category for slandering others. So that we can ignore or indulge as we see fit.
Photoshop: Posts with lots of graphics are hell on my dial up
Lyrics: Song Lyrics need to be segregated
fictiones: for the fiction
Show Notices: Whose band/friend's band/favorite band is playing where, when? These tend to get lost amid the longer posts.
Poetry: it doesn't happen much but it happens here
Rooms for Rent: This would be extremely helpful.
Things for sale: I've sold a few things over the years, here. So has Sonny, Josh, I'm sure Ben, Cricket tried to sell a painting once.
Killoggs Travel: Who is going to be where? Who needs a place to stay, a impromptu guide/tour, recommendations about a locality? Shelly wrote one about Seattle for Woody once that I'll use if I ever go to Seattle.

craig [email] said at 2:45 PM 02-26-2004: In Dead Language: craig or kiche

craigofthorns: this is Craig
In Dead Language: word
craigofthorns: I'll let Kiche know though
josh [email] said at 2:18 PM 02-26-2004: From the last paragraph : "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."
marcia [email] said at 8:02 PM 02-26-2004: I like Bradnon's idea of killogg's travel. (though luster totally fucking stood me up on my cross country trip last year).
The things for sale, or even stuff people are giving away would be cool, too. Or some sort of exchange place where people could post pictures of stuff and trade with other people, etc.
For the recipe thing, it would be cool if it was set up like the news links are set up--so you can see the link and not have to see the whole long post. I think it would be so much easier to navigate that way. And even if you could put stuff in catagories--vegan, vegetarian, appetizer, main course, dessert, etc.

rick [email] said at 9:54 AM 02-27-2004: There needs to be "Subjects That Are To Be Argued To The Death Over" with subcategories for Rick, Woody, Brandon, Josh, Martin, Bradley, Mary, Neilbert, and Kiche.
brandonr said at 10:40 AM 02-27-2004: Oftentimes, one sufficiently long post comprises many of these categories. While composing posts, would we have a radio button menu to check off all the categories that apply? Like this is a parody transcription of a weather channel broadcast replete with witticism and stating the obvious.

Michael said at 11:59 PM 03-09-2004: You know what would be cool? If you could reply to the quotes at the top of the page. As in if the quote were a link that took you to a page of responses to the quote. Some of the quotes that pop up just kill me - particularly Jane's 'cunt-faced dweeb' ref and the 'Social Relevance? I'll fuck you in the eye!". I'd love to ask what some of them mean.
katie said at 1:08 AM 03-10-2004: i have to agree. the header quote, to me, is the coolest thing about killoggs. well, maybe that's slight hyperbole, i like the discussion too, but i love the rotating quotes. sometimes i would also like to respond to them. way to have an idea, michael, whomever you may be.
Michael said at 6:01 PM 03-10-2004: Did you date Joseph, tall Kinko's Joseph? If so, email me - michael at knighten dot net - I wanna ask you if you kept up with him or his friend Sean at all, I know Sean supposively is in San Jose and I would love to find him.
katie said at 6:08 PM 03-10-2004: i did indeed date tall kinko's joseph. i didn't really keep up with him, or his friend sean. i could find out for you, though, since i keep up with some other folks who might know.
Michael said at 2:26 AM 03-10-2004: I don't have a better place to put this, so I'll put it here. I was in a bar in San Fran this weekend, and I was wearing my LSU Sugar Bowl Champs tshirt, as I'm wont to do when drinking in strange lands, and this bartender chick is like, hey nice shirt! We get to talking, and she was roommates with Eli, a KLSU DJ back when I was there, circa 96. Some of you probably know her. Turns out I partied with her a couple of times and Eli dated my roommate Daniel for a little while. Crazy. Small world...
brandon [email] said at 1:06 PM 03-10-2004: Ha, I know exactly who you're talking about. I'm pretty sure that Eli is in Seattle. Man, I love that chick.
Michael said at 1:18 PM 03-10-2004: You're right, Eli is in Seattle, Mila said. God that was like a jolt back to another era, I remember hanging out at their apartment a few times completely hammered, they lived right there at the end of Chimes Street.
josh [email] said at 1:34 PM 03-10-2004: Good idea, but it kind of irks me that that would let people read all the quotes... It takes away from the mysteriousness.
Michael said at 4:09 PM 03-10-2004: Hmm, well if you didn't create an index page or section for it, so that the only way to access the quote discussion was to click on the actual quote when it appears, and it only gives you a discussion of that particular quote, then people wouldn't be able to read all the quotes. Probably still more effort than it's worth though.
I'm listening to Common right now. That's good sh-t.
