Opus Relinque

Having learnt the added value a social media extension can prove itself to be to a blog like mine, I felt it would be best to split the existing facebook page into more meaningful counterparts each serving their own purpose:

The Opus Relinque facebook page
will continue to relay the content of this blog to the greater linked audience by providing brief automated updates on the daily posts, present gallery-photographs and professional shoot results, maintain professional connections with photographers and print media, keeping the same distance between the work and my persona as this site does.

The Discipulus facebook page
is to become a more accessible medium, housing the less polished but more taggable imagery, providing an open wall for folks to post on, placing myself in the middle exhibiting the work’s more personal side, associative to the many kindred spirits I am meeting along the way, keeping in touch and convening beyond the relevance of this blog.

Conforming to the standards set by the new About, I derived a page encapsulating the (in the previous chapter implemented) navigation index-pages, merging both outlooks into a hybrid design, to serve as an intermediary menu.

Blog Chapters The posts on this blog are segmented into chronologically ordered chapters, each leading up to an important event or cut short by a brief posting break, leading in a new construction stage. Using these indexes to find an entry point (e.g. the first post), and continuing onwards through the posts is the best way to read the blog as if it were a book.

Post Categories All posts are submitted into content-derivative categories, recognizable by their distinctly formatted outlook. These indexes form the best course for understanding the structure of this blog, serving general interest as well as facilitating cross-referencing, by maintaining an organised view of all posts within each category.

Context Tags Post-tags add a notion of clarifying context to posts while at the same time bundling them through inter-category connections. They are normally found mixed-up up in an alphabetically ordered cloud. For these indexes, the tags are classified into a number of tag-types, forming parallel lines of posts within each type of context, providing a structured environment for comparing tag formed listings.

Search Function The search function is the best way for speedy retrieval of any specific post or gathering posts from a number of keywords. This page depicts its effect by also displaying its results in a post-time sorted index. The search works great for querying content-aspects not exemplified by previous methods (e.g. silk shirt), as well as forming combinations of the ones that are. (e.g. sunday primary treasure)
