I’m working on creating a financial news portal and have been thinking about the information architecture of portals. It seems portals like My Yahoo! are a sophisticated set of bookmarks: you pass through your portal into a set of selected documents.

I need to invent a new term, which I’ll call a shell until I think of something hipper, that is more of an intelligent intermediary, whatching where you go and making an effort to shape the context on each page according to your selections.

Hmmmm, I misinterpreted the function of the date header, thinking it would insert after each post, when actually it only inserts at the end of each day’s posts. NOW it should work OK, with my nice little rule in between each post, noisebetweenstations style.

Yeeehaaaa. T’Works! Only thang I forgot was the time tag. That should be here this time…

This is my first post using Blogger and I’m very excited. My only concern is whether I entered all the paths correctly, I’d like to see examples along with their otherwise helpful instructions.
