WordPress as a CMS

A moment ago I was working on my training company website, only to realise that my implementation to tweak WordPress to display a custom home page and the blog as a subdirectory didn’t work out too well when the blog posts flowed over to more than one page.

What I was doing originally was to simply use query_post('pagename=home'); on my index.php and query_posts('author=1'); (since I was the only author) on a custom page.

So I did some more research on using WordPress as a CMS, and I bumped onto this article in BlogHelper, on How to put a custom front page in WordPress. The article presented several different methods of doing it, and being the lazy me, I chose the easiest way out :mrgreen:, that was to download the Filosofo Home Page Control plugin, that practically does everything for you.

So now it works so magically.

I should start exploring and learning how to write WordPress plugins real soon.

Loads of items on my to-do list. I could go on forever!
