Add Functionality to Wordpress Site

Add functionality to WordPress design. We're seeking someone familiar with Wordpress to add functionality to the attached design. Linux, Apache, MySQL & PhP or Perl experience preferred. Must be able to code elements beyond plugins already available for Wordpress. ## Deliverables General - * Advertising - Some type of banner ad management system for the various ad spaces on the site. * Automatic Image Resizing - There are a few areas on the site where images need to be associated with News Stories and Shows (Featured Article, Featured Shows, and News Column on the Homepage and also in the Directory). We'd like the images to be automatically resized in those instances. * RSS Feeds - We will constantly be posting News Stories and Shows to the site. These are two different types of posts. We'd like to have a specific RSS feed for each. We'd also like to have a third RSS feed which will be for all site updates (News Stories AND Shows). * E-mail Newsletter - We'd like to have an option to sign up for our weekly e-mail newsletter. Check out [[login to view URL]][1] <<[login to view URL]>> and scroll down on the right hand side where the subscription options are. See how they offer both daily AND weekly updates? We'd like similar functionality. So, for our site, if a user entered his e-mail and clicked daily updates then they would be subscribed via e-mail to the RSS feed for all site updates. If they clicked weekly updates, they would be subscribe to our newsletter. * Suggest a Show - We'd like there to be a submission form here with specific fields that we can provide. HomePage (See attached image) - * Featured News Story - We'd like the default placement of the latest News Post to be the featured section up top. Then, as more News stories are posted, it gets moved to the News column and gets pushed down as more and more stories are posted. However, we'd also like the ability to override this order, making it so we can check a box on the backend and that News Story will appear in the Featured News Section regardless of when it was posted. When the button is unclicked, the News Story will return to its regular position. If a user clicks on a Featured or other News Story on the Homepage, he will be taken to that specific News article. * Featured Shows - We'd like the ability to make any Show a Featured Show. On the backend, we would check a box to make the show Featured and it would appear on the Homepage in the Featured Shows column. We would also like to be able to assign it a Featured Shows number that would correspond to its position in the column. If a user clicks on a Featured Show on the Homepage, he will be taken to that specific Show's page. * Featured Video - We'd like this to double as Advertising/Sponsorship space with 4 square ads similar to the ones seen on [[login to view URL]][2] <<[login to view URL]>> (or possibly 2 rectangular ads on top of one another). Directory (See attached image - Only top portion shown) - * Programming - We'd like to be able to program what shows appear on the main Directory page. Again, this could be controlled by a box to check in the backened. * Brose By - The directory should be able to be sorted by Most Recent, Alphabetical, Most Viewed, Highest Rated. Show Pages - (See attached image - Only top portion shown. * Images - Note that each Show Page will have two images associated with it. One for the Directory and Similar Shows, and one for the Featured Shows on the Homepage. * Subscribe - Go to the following page - <[login to view URL]>. See the "Subscribe" icon. If you fly over that you will be given different subscription options for that show that we input on the backend.. We'd like to incorporate this into the new site. The rest of that section (Preview, More Info, Episode List, Write Review, Subscribe, etc.) we don't need. * Left-Hand Side - The space for information about the shows is too wide right now. We'd like to incorpoate a column on the left-hand side that lists Most Recently Added shows (We're also considering putting more advertising below). * Ratings - We'd like users to be able to rate shows. ONLY Shows. Not News Articles. * Similar Shows - Below the information we post for the Show, we'd like a list of Similar Shows to appear below. Ideally, these would appear automatically and be based on Tags. We ONLY want Show Posts to show up here. No News posts. Please see our site for an example: Scroll down to the "Similar Sites" section on this page - [[login to view URL]<wbr />d][3]. * Related News - Below the information we post for the Show, we'd like a section that shows articles that [login to view URL] has written about the show. Scroll down to the "News" section on this page for an example - <[login to view URL]> We can associate these articles manually in the backend. Ideally, when writing an article in the manager, there could be a menu that lets you associate that article with multiple Show Pages. * Related Outside News - Below the information we post for the Show, we'd like a section that shows articles other sources have written about the show. We can input these into the backend manually. For an example of this on a different site, [login to view URL] does something similar (scroll down and look at the "News Headlines" and "User-submitted News" sections - [[login to view URL]<wbr />-hill/show/16942/[login to view URL]][4]) News (See attached image - Only top portion shown) - * Images - Note that each News Article will have two images associated with it. One for the Featured Article, and one for the News Column. * Left Hand-Side - The space for the news articles is too wide right now. On the left hand side should be a column for Latest News Stories. (We're also considering putting more advertising below). * Related News Articles - When you're on a News Article's specific page, below that article, we'd like to show a listing of Related News. Ideally this would be done automatically based on Tags. We ONLY want News Posts to show up here. No Show Posts. * Related Shows - When you're on a News Article's specific page, below that article, we'd like a separate section for Related Shows. We can enter these manually.
