Forum Overview :: Site Comments :: Wordpress

[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"]I have found that Wordpress is quite easy to use, and it would add a few features here if it were implemented in the main site (the forum would be untouched by all this). Let me know if there are any pitfalls I should be aware of, but: - It would make it very, very easy to take a good forum post and turn it into a featured article. - It would automatically handle RSS. - It would automatically give me a "articles" and "reviews" pages when content was added, using the tag system. - I could get an extension that would show the latest threads on the main page. I would turn off comments for any article promoted to the front (although trackbacks would be fine, I guess). The trick would be to keep the same look and feel that the main page currently has. I think that would be possible: seeing that there are thousands of pre-existing themes, it can't be that difficult to make a new one, which would essentially be bolted together from what Fussbett has already done. I'm horrible with timelines and deadlines, so there are currently neither, but let me know if I should be aware of anything beforehand. ICJ[/quote]
