Project re-planning

As I am stuck on the problem with metadata adding entry. I went onto re-styling metadata.xsl & review.xsl. Then I thought it's not, very not, user-friendly and logic to have these pages. Well, from programming side of view, it's more convenient; and the functions can be grouped together. However, I cannot convince myself how any user would understand what metadata means, and why on earth would they want to read review of some random a game. I think, then, before I go into the mambo-jumbo of coding and programming. I should do a project planning - I should know what all 4 phases require, and and adjust the layout in accordance:
  1. Review page will do better embedded with the specific game it belongs to; same for add review.
  2. Metadata page needs to be taken apart, and renamed accordingly:
  3. (a) Search box should be embeded in the header of every page;
  4. (b) a Browse page(in menu bar) for user to view all games, preferably by catagory;
  5. (c) a Submit page(in menu bar) for user to add new games
  6. (d) a Game Info page for each game that will display all relevant elements; eg. review.
  7. (e) a Edit page(linked from Game Info) to edit each game
  8. A series of user interfaces: Sign-up, profile, edit profile pages; as well as a user login/logout status indicator in the header
  9. Lastly, I need a place for friends indicator, which will show name of user that's logged and have similar favorites. Will footer be a good place? um....
