WordPress concepts
I need notes on the concepts underlying each CMS, because I am playing with so many. Here are my WordPress notes.
Most of the content on a WP site takes the form of short “articles” called posts. Unless you organise things differently, the site displays the most recent post first, and the rest in reverse chrono order. But you can display sets of posts by making use of categories and tags.
Categories provide a hierarchical system for filing your posts – that is, a category can be a sub-division of a parent category. In this site, at first, I do not have a hierarchy – just a category for each CMS I am reviewing. A post can be in multiple categories – as indeed many of my posts are. Tags seem to be very similar to categories, except that they do not have a hierarchy – they are all on the same level.
