	===Wordpress mechanics===

	Dave, 2014-05-07: Decide how we're going to use Wordpress's organizational conventions: menus, categories, tags. As I understand Wordpress, "themes" are often far more than just "skins"; in addition to changing the look of the site, they can shape how content is organized and provide additional site features. I think it's important that we keep our content easily portable to future changes, and that means using lowest common denominator Wordpress ideums and not leaning hard on features of a particular theme. Being new to Wordpress, I'm trying learn what that means. Checkout the [[Sagamore PTA Wordpress notes]].

	Dave, 2014-05-23: Here are Wordpress's default content type conventions:

	:;Posts
	:: Blog-like entries—our communications that forward onto the Wildcat or Facebook or whatever
	:;Pages
	:: Reference information that doesn't have a shelf life, like more traditional static pages), contains are the information Posts will often be pointing to (e.g. a page dedicated to explained what Accelerated Reader is)
	: Wordpress also has taxonomy facilities by way of '''categories''' and '''tags''', but the only apply to posts, and I'm thinking they'd be good for pages too. Pages can be heirarchically related (child/parent).
	: Confirmed I don't care for presenting heirarchical navigation like Wordpress pages encourage by default.
	: Thinking about what minimal plugins we should build to automate navigation… It feels like Wordpress categories might be the right glue to tie together pages and posts topically. For example, posts categorized "garden" would be mentioned on the garden's page. Something similar already happens on Wordpress's page for a category term, but it's not a full fledged page (with rich content and in the page heirarchy). But maybe we match on the [https://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#Slug slugs] of the categories and pages?
