Important part of the whole

Monday 07 Aug, 2006 @ 0600. Today's task is my own newsletter application (new-brand) that will build upon the core site (new-brand) management tools. I've solved a few date/time issues and can now turn my attention to this important part of the core site development.

Thus far I've successfully created a working model with the whole site configuration that will allow globalization of company specific information and the session monitor which will evolve into a statistical and analytical tool for website traffic.

The newsletter application is an important part of most websites and it is the foundation of the website membership module in that it will provide an interface for visitors to join a website and select custom features as well as choose from a list of available newsletters. The membership module is also part of the administrative tools to be able to organize personal, professional and website contacts.

I had plans to use another newsletter application as the foundation coding but the core site model has grown beyond the scope of what is readily available without having to recode or fix the database, tables and functions. I've decided that it will be much more efficient to create my own for a number of reasons. It will ensure that I completely understand the code and flow, it will allow me to KNOW it is safe, it will allow me to make it as efficient as possible and will allow me to create it so it is easily upgradeable to ASP.NET 2.0.

So, with the configuration tables and functions already in place, my next step us the user database, then the login and administrator rights, then the user interface for creating and scheduling distribution.

All this while my servers continue their upgrade process and the core data for Soky.net is revised. I still have jury duty this month and have to call in this evening to see if I must report in the morning. All of this has also put the kybosh on my fitness plan though I intend to overcome this distraction by starting my daily run this afternoon.
