practicality: (WoW!Ally)
So the gaming club's hosting is up in a few months, and having seen the package we've got now, it quite frankly blows. I've been pretty happy with the webhost I'm using for T-T.org, but it's been a good three years since I've actually looked to see what's out there in terms of hosting, and I figured now might be a good time. I know a bunch of you guys have your own domains - any hosts in particular you really like?

Second, I'm running for election as Games Librarian. One of the things that really needs to be done is re-cataloging all the stuff the club has - this is a mix of board games, card games, RPG books, novels, and magazines, and there's about twenty lockers of it. I was thinking that it might be a good idea to publish this to the web and make it available on the club site - basically have listings of titles tagged with type of material, genre, etc, maybe with a brief blurb about the source if I'm feeling really ambitious. The big thing is I'd like the tags to act as filters - be able to search for something that is both a board game AND fantasy, for instance. I'm not entirely certain how to do this, though - I know a lot of the blogging scripts out there now a days have built-in tagging systems, but as I am far too lazy to actually use them, I have no idea if tags can be compounded the way I mentioned. Input, anyone?

I am kind of useless.

I've been happy with Dreamhost for webhosting, but it's been years since I signed up with them, so I have no idea if there's a better show in town these days or not.

As far as tags, I'm not sure what you're asking. (Possibly because I am stupid with exhaustion.) You don't want to use built-in tagging systems? But you do want to use tags? I know Textpattern lets you put any given item in 2 "categories" and 1 "section," and you can then search by requiring that your results are a hit in all 3 things, which I think would work well for what you're talking about, but that's kind of what you're saying you're too lazy to use, I guess? I am just confused about what the easier way to do it would be.

No, I'm fine using built-in system for organizing the club library - I just don't use it for my _personal_ blogging because I'm lazy, so I don't know how any of the systems work XD That does sound like it'll do what I want to do, though - I'll give it a look!

Oh, gotcha, that makes sense. My reading comprehension skills . . . I do not have them. For what it's worth, Textpattern is more work to set-up initially than some other blogging systems, but I think it's worth it, in that once you get it tweaked the way you like it, it's just so damn easy to use and has a lot of pretty powerful features.
