Series #4: Managing Wordpress More Effectively

I’ve used a lot of content management systems over the years, and Wordpress while widely known as “blogging” software is as good as any. It’s open source, widely supported, very hackable, and there are more free plugins and themes than you can ever use. The more I work with Wordpress the more impressed I am with what it can do - and the more convinced I am that most bloggers and web site owners are only scratching the surface in terms of it’s potential. My goal in this series is to show you how to more effectively manage your content and your time. You’ll be surprised what you can do with just a little bit of knowledge.
