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.
