Reading time: < 1 minute

Rosenort EMC felt it was time to reach out to its members in a unique way. They felt they needed to offer features of their website such as Events, Bulletins, Committee lists and much more. All of this came integrated into WordPress and is so easy to update.

My WordPress Blog

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Reading time: 2 – 2 minutes

As you may have noticed, I have spend a bit of time redesigning and retooling my blog.

I have decided to hook on to a well known software called WordPress.  It makes posting and maintaining a blog easy.  The previous version of this blog was created on my own and decided that reinventing the wheel was not such a good idea.

I would recommend this software to anyone who wants a fully-customizable blog without the limitations of BlogSpot and other free hosts out there.  It takes a bit of getting used to but It is worth it in the long haul.

Below I have listed a few WordPress files and their purpose to get those of you interested a bit of a start.

Required Files
index.php – controls the functionality of your blog
style.css – contains all the styles that make your blog pretty to the human eye

Optional Files
single.php – the template when a single blog post is shown
author.php – the template when a particular authors articles are shown
header.php – the header of all files within the site – called in files by the function get_header()
footer.php – works similar as header

This is just a little taste of the file structure of a WordPress blog.  If this is a topic that interests you please leave a comment, and I will take that as a vote for more future posts on this issue.
