Blog Setup

Blog Setup

So, I finally made it to setup a Blog for my final year project. I know it's quiet late but still better than never. This is a small List of Requiremnts I have set to myself till yet. All include a vague estimation of their difficulty to implement and a necessarity in %.
  • Users can create a new Account - Easy - 100%
  • Users can Add Entries to a Blog - Easy - 100%
  • Users can find Friends - Medium Difficult - 100%
  • Will take a while as invitations have to be sent confirmed and denied
  • Users can read Messages - Medium Difficult (necessarity check needed)
  • Users can setup their page - Easy 100%
  • Users can select a layout for their page - Medium -50%
    • I will try to use simple CSS and DIV Backround.
    • And Example for this method would be Bebo.
  • Users can select and Avatar - Medium Difficult - 100%
  • Users can Upload Pictures into a Galery - Difficult - 50%
  • Users can Post YoutubeVideos and other apps on FrontPage - Medium - 30%
  • Users can create Groups
Main issues would be to learn JSP (Should be very straight forward since I know ASP and JAVA). A harder issue would be image handling since I will have to retrieve, resize and store plenty of images in propably different formats.
