WordPress and You July 5, 2007
Posted by Dave Lowe in : General , trackbackWe have really gotten off to a good start. We have a platform for chapters, departments, projects, and individuals can create their very own website with top of the line features that can be ready to use in minutes.
The site is powered by WordPress. This is pretty cutting edge stuff. These sites are weblogs, they have dynamic content created by you and with the latest posts displayed on the top in a news format.
You can also choose to have a static front page, that is a page that does not change often. With WordPress, you are not required to have a blog at all. You can use the sitebuilder to build a complete website with no weblog at all.
We have included some of the best additions as plugins. These can be activated in your site’s dashboard. Some of the plugins offered include spam protection, contact form option, polls and surveys, and even a forum plugin to allow you to run a “bulletin board” type site, if that is what you choose.
You will also have the ability to select a layout for your site, a theme with colors and graphics already configured. Some of the layouts are STARFLEET themed. Others are dynamic, and can be customized with your own graphics from the dashboard.
Each of the themes provided to you have “widgets” that can be dragged and dropped onto your page in the dashboard. We have searched the Internet and found some of the best widgets and plugins to make your site modern and easily accessible for your prospective users.
Not a code monkey? Not a problem. Our team will help you set up your initial site and hand over the keys. No coding required. We’ll provide as little or as much assistance as you need. Simply email support@sfilabs.org with your questions or concerns and we’ll discuss your needs on a case-by-case basis.
