WordPress in Education - A Case Study Example
Currently thinking about presenting how I have integrated the use of WordPress on an Education website used by a number of students in a school. A history of how the website developed and grew from a static HTML site to a complex WordPress content management system using WordPress as the CMS. Also intend to touch a little about how the site has been integrated with Windows 2008 Server and how users are authenticated by their network login. The content really depends on how far I get with the site over the coming year. Idea: Mark WIlkinson @equalmark Tags: developer, Intermediate, Designer
How to structure your site
Talking about the ways to work out which Wordpress features you'd use to structure your site, and best represent your business/ideas on the site. It would cover things like:
- When to use categories, or tags, or custom taxonomies
- Posts vs pages vs custom post types
- Content vs widgets vs secondary loops
- Plugins that can help with the above
I'd do it as a case-study of some existing sites I've built showing how I used the flexibility WP has to build to meet the "business-need". Idea: Lee Willis @leewillis77 Tags: Beginner, Intermediate
