Talk:Portal:Main Page Development

Portal Development - Main Page
This is the top-level page for implementing the Main page as a Portal. It's composed of this Main Page, a box template format, and as many sub-pages as needed.

I'm following Wikipedia's tutorial for building a Portal: LadyGeek 04:17, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Suggested Category Listing

 * First draft of current category/subcategory distribution to 3 main portal-llke categories (alphabetized a la wiki); assuming this structure requires tagged categories. For simplicity, all current listed entries would be subcategories of the portal root, and pages would (initially) include both parent and subcategory tags to insure maximum display of pages. The existing Retirement Plan category would become the "portal" link. Current categories with subcategories are indicated by -->:

Financial Planning
 * Asset Allocation -->
 * Charitable Giving-->
 * College Savings-->
 * Estate Planning
 * Personal Finance-->
 * Tax Considerations-->

Investing
 * Asset Classes-->
 * FAQ
 * Indexing
 * International Domiciles-->

 * Sue, I have yet to see a portal that has an automated categories list. All of them have been manual lists, so I added a manual list prototype. Since I copied it and modified the topics, you may want to fine tune the markup. Blbarnitz 11:56, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
