[Sticky] Wordpress and You

Wordpress is cool.. Did you know that Wordpress runs the most websites on the Internet?  It's immensely popular.  It makes creating a website easy by reducing the actual web coding knowledge required so you can focus on creating content.  We run wordpress here - this site is run on wordpress.

Wordpress Taxonomy

• Post:  A post is a news article.  Something stamped in time that flows with time.  We generate posts and the newest ones go to the front of the site.  When we post another new post, that is at the top of the front page and bumps all the older posts down one.  Great for periodicals or for an article that gives information from a period in time such as an article titled "Star Citizen Alpha 3.21 patch review".
• Page: A static page that ignores time.  These should be written to stand the test of time and may be kept up-to-date.  These do not show up in our news feed like posts do.  They are instead hard linked to information pages such as our recruitment page.  We often apply links in menus for these.  If we do not set up a link to a page, it technically exists but nobody can browse to it.
• Category: A post is given one or more categories.  Think of categories like the table of contents in a book and the post is a subsection in that item in the table of contents.  A user can browse a category to see what posts are in each category.
• Tags:  A post can have several tags applied to it.  These should be topics or mentions such as "Anvil Carrack".  If categories are the table of contents, tags are more like entries in the index at the end of a non-fiction book.. where it lists pages where each item in the index is discussed.  A user can browse a tag to see what articles have that tag.
