WordPress (blog) Based Sites

WordPress is a popular blogging application that can be installed on a domain either as part of a site or as the basis of the entire site. It allows the site owner or contributors to make additions to the site themselves. It can be used as a content management system (CMS) for smaller sites. In fact, you can just not use the blogging part and just have pages, and make it look like a normal site - but one you can log into and edit from anywhere. WordPress templates, which we can customize, offer quite a variety in function as well as in appearance.

The Boss Solar website is built on WordPress. The home page of the site is not the ever-changing latest blog posts, but rather a more-or-less static page, created within wordpress. All of this can be configured within WordPress. The site contains more pages than blog posts.

Alternatively, Voile Pour Tous is my husband's sailing blog in French. Here, WordPress is used basically as a blog.

My Nova Scotia Photo Album is not built on WordPress, but it has a WordPress "Life in Nova Scotia" blog attached to it.

The Canso Breeze is the brainchild of our clients at Whitman Wharf House B&B, and aims to become the online version of the long-defunct local newspaper of the same name. It has a CMS-like frontpage and the comment section has been eliminated.

The Friends of the Mahone Bay Woods and Soccer Field are trying to save some town property they value from being sold to a developer and to develop better ways to engage the talents of citizens in the town's future. Online activism is a new frontier that engages many people where they are: on the internet.

Sepulchre Regulatory Aid's blog, which I've harmonized visually to match the rest of the site, gives my legal-minded husband a forum to express his views and seek interaction with others interested in the same topics.

My old band, Cuckoo Moon, is entering a new phase, and I'm setting up a WordPress site for them that they can keep it up themselves.

I also set up a blog for my father's correspondence on social and political issues, FlemmingHolm.ca.
