New Website
Not that I don’t have enough to, but I’ve started a new website called IndieAve.com. It is devoted to helping Indie Artists find the best web resources to help promote their bands.
In the process of building that site, I’ve learned even more about WordPress. While not available for the free version here on WordPress.com, the self-hosted version available from WordPress.org allows you to add plugins from a selection of thousands. While designing the new site, I found several plugins that allow me to build an essentially self-organizing web site.
After some long thought and design for cagegories, I’ve been able to use the “Blog in Blog” plugin (with a few others) to create the site. Now that the site is set up, I can simply write a post, give it appropriate categories, and auto-magically, the post appears on the appropriate pages of the site. And the site is now set up (as is this one) to send a Twitter message about the new post. Very magical. I will be writing about how IndieAve was built on that site, so if you’re interested, you might want to follow there too. I’ll try to post those within the next couple of weeks.
