I am in the process of making the Videodefunct prototype ‘Glasshouse Birdman’ I am interested in making a prototype that reflects more of a traditional documentary approach compared to the earlier abstract VD prototype ‘Pedestrian’. The content is personal and intimate with the objective to produce an example that is accessible to a broader audience. The portrait is of a wildlife carer named Terry Dale who specialises in looking after native birds in Queensland. We recorded together his daily routine of caring for native birds, which included in a very informal manner the documentation of numerous stories of his experiences.
Keith has devises a great tool which maps out the relationships that are created across tags in VD prototypes. He has some examples to use and check out online.

Wildcat is “the one and only” original version of wordpress (WP) customised by David Wolf. The version uses customised templates,css and custom fields, working with an original theme by Nicole Dominic. The web site The Guild as an example. David works with customised fields - quote from the wordpress web site:
WordPress has the ability to allow post authors to assign custom fields to a post. This arbitrary extra information is known as meta-data.
He describes how he utilises this WP feature on his blog http://dpwolf.net/blog/2005/09/the-guild-website/ the guild website quote:
For each of the ads I make a regular post, storing a lot of information in custom fields, such as: the url of a thumbnail image; the url of a poster movie and the url of the movie itself. I store this information here rather than in the actual post text in order to separate content from styling and presentation, allowing me to refer to the same clip in a number of different ways from different areas of the site.
