Wordpress As A CMS Links
I’ve been looking into manipulating Wordpress as a content management system, as I’ve posted about in the past. Anyway, it’s making more sense now to me, and I thought I’d give you all some links to articles that helped me.
Scriptygoddess - Above the Fold Scriptygoddess talks about how she manipulated Wordpress with php to make her ecommerce site.
Bloghelper - Wordpress for a Portfolio Site The first of a series of articles focusing on using Wordpress as the backend for a portfolio of sorts.
Chris J Davis - WP Theming Secrets This series of articles deals with some basics, like using custom templates as well as some more advanced techniques. Written for WP 1.5, but many concepts are still applicable.
Wordpress for a News/Magazine Site While I have not tried to run a news magazine site, and the example isn’t really a huge variation on traditional blogs, there are some useful concepts here.
Nick Smit - Thumbnail Hack I didn’t know I needed this until recently. I’m building a portfolio site, and couldn’t understand why it wasn’t generating thumbnails for pictures I was uploading. Found out what to hack by reading this article. Excellent.
Hopefully these articles will help you on your journey. If you’re at all like me, immerse yourself in articles like these enough and it will slowly come to you. Good luck.
