Flash WordPress front-end
I’m about a week and a half into blogging and I realized that WordPress has a great back-end but the front end is only as good as the template. As a Flash developer I can make front-ends all day that make users want to drool but the back-end is always the tricky part. I’ve started the preliminary coding/research into making a front-end for WP in Flash. But what I don’t have is the needs of the community in the back of my mind. Again, I’ve only been blogging for a week or so. Therefore if any heavy WP users have specific challenges they need met I’d love to hear about them. Or, if you’re a Flash dev and you know what kind of a class kit you’d enjoy working with to build your own blog’s front-end, leave a comment.

Welp, first thing, theres this.
The biggest thing for me would be the manipulation of the loop. If the flash front-end would simply output text into different string variables, that would be enough for my needs; same goes for all of the wp template tags.
