I’m going to the WordPress meetup in NYC. I’m a little unprepared because I haven’t downloaded (or even looked at it-gasp!) the theme they’re going to be talking about. I do need to know what the top dawgs consider correct usage of categorization and I am a little weak on the whole custom fields thing. But all my projects involve using WordPress as a CMS, so I had to sign up when Tina (laidbackhome.com) alerted me there were only 4 spots left. It’s all full,now. I don’t have a laptop but I’m sure Ms.Shoulders will share.
Here’s the Meetup Description:
WordPress isn’t just for blogs anymore. It can be used as an effective content management system for editorial sites when you employ the right plugins and methods of categorization and navigation. Consultant, designer, and developer Johnathan Andersen (www.johnathanandersendesign.com) will share his experience in the online content publishing industry and how you can use WordPress to build and manage your own online magazine and make money.
In this presentation we will use the Revolution theme, ‘Church’ style to create an editorial style blog with advertising. We will look at various ways to utilize categories and custom field plugins to control content and provide an engaging experience. We will also look at how popular sites today are providing similar experiences that can be replicated using these techniques.
This presentation will be for all levels of WordPress users who want to learn more about what WordPress can do for their personal businesses.
of Course I will share with you. 🙂
