This is an email I sent last night to Frank Worsley of ZinePal<\/a>. Also copied on this email were Teri Lussier, Brad Coy, Cheryl Johnson, Brian Brady, Sean Purcell and Eric Blackwell, the folks who have been talking about ZinePal privately. I’m sharing this in the hopes that it will spark other ideas.<\/p>\n

Frank Worsley: > Let me know if you have any feature requests or run into any problems and I’ll try to fix it for you.<\/p>\n

Okay, Frank, you asked for it.<\/p>\n

This is my wish list for ZinePal, but I’m copying these other good folks because we’ve all been playing with the software. We’re all affiliated with BloodhoundBlog.com, a real estate industry-focused weblog. We love ZinePal because we have huge and unending publishing needs.<\/p>\n

Emphasize that: We love ZinePal. I’m going to ask for a lot of stuff, and the others here will chip in with their own ideas, but I don’t want you to despair in any way. We’re happy to help you make ZinePal better, if we can, but you’ve already kicked our teeth in and left us smiling about it. We’re in your debt, never doubt it.<\/p>\n

My background: I was a typographer when that word meant something. Even so, I understand that the world has changed — and I have changed, too. I want a certain amount of typographic control, if I can get it, but I’m not prepared to jump out the window if I can’t have it.<\/p>\n

Much more important to me is control over the copy. Typographers copyfit typographically. They have to follow the copy out the window. Editors copyfit by cutting and adding copy. Give me editorial control and I’ll solve my own typographic problems.<\/p>\n

So:<\/p>\n

1. I want control over the feeds. I need for a feed to be forgotten if I need to reimport it. I need for as many posts as I wish to come in with the feed. I can work-around this by using categories in WordPress, e.g,<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.bloodhoundrealty.com\/wp-rss2.php?cat=7<\/p>\n

Category feeds seem to come in in their entirety.<\/p>\n

2. But: Once I have the copy in ZinePal, I need to be able to edit it in place. If Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
