Philosophical Ranting of an Engineer

Article Templates

December 7th, 2005

After a little discussion of CMS and template design with Fam, this idea came up:

What if there were multiple templates for each blog post?

For example, if you wanted to post on a movie or a music album, you probably want to display a medium/large square image.

If you want to write on an article and plan to include some text, you would want to display a significant portion of the text as a block quote.

If you went on a trip and want to display some pictures, you might want to display nine thumbnails in the post as well as a link to the album.

What if you had a template for each of these posts? That way, when you go to create a new post, you signify what type of post it is, this brings up the appropriate template form, and will then correctly display the special information!
