Hi Everybody,

I'm planning a new project and am having a hard time coming up with the best development strategy.

The site will have a number of "blog like" submission options for content, all with the same form fields (eg. article, feature, opinion, etc.).

I am trying to keep the content submission processes as simple as possible and allow all of the content to be submitted from one form (from the end user perspective).

I have been going back and forth between the following options and hopped that you would have some thoughts on the best method:

1) Separate Content Types for each with AJAX to call the appropriate Node Add form when the user selects the Content Type from a radio button.

2) CCK Radio field that could be referenced and one Content Type representing all.

3) a new Taxonomy that would define the content and one Content Type.

In my mind, any of the above could achieve my goal of simplifying the submission process which instantly makes me think I'm missing something.

Any thoughts would be appreciated,
Rob

Unless I am missing something you have one content type that is categorized (choice #3).

Thanks for the input Nevets, that's where I'm leaning as well.

It's really just a label right now but I'm trying to do some forward thinking as to what would offer the most flexibility in the future which lead me to think about the other options.
