More news, more posts, more English
As Global Village website is becoming more and more content oriented, we need a tool which allows our students and teachers to create even more content and manage it dynamically. These days we are lucky to have tools like WordPress to help us. It’s a powerful and flexible Open Source project that puts website creating and blogging within reach of regular users here at Global Village.
- It gives us complete control over the site, its appearance and its content.
- It offers automatic creation of pages based on the contents of posts. The most recent post appears at the top of the page (e.g. news) or the category page for the page assigned category (e.g. projekty).
- It automatically formats our pages based on a predefined template or theme. When we change the theme, the entire site’s appearance changes automatically.
- It has an ability to include links and images, just like any other website.
- It automatically archives old posts by category and date and offers search facility.
- Most importantly, readers can enter comments about a post, thus starting an online discussion of its contents.
- And best of all, WordPress is free.
At the moment, most of the website runs under WordPress. gv_blog will be fully incorporated into it in a couple of weeks. gv_files, exclusive to Global Village students, will be available again when the school year starts
