In reply to: SEO Experts“lastly, change the home page’s title. the static front page plugin looks for the page slug, meaning you can safely change the relevant page’s title.”
Excellent point Denis. Great idea! As always, thanks.

In reply to: SEO ExpertsThanks everyone…
vkaryl: I just used tinyurl for the ease of this post. I didn’t want it to seem like I was spamming this board by using the true domain.

In reply to: Posts, Pages and ‘Bits’??Does anyone with *free* time feel like taking a crack at this? I think ‘Bits’ would be very helpful.

In reply to: Posts, Pages and ‘Bits’??Well that’s good news. Maybe someone else will find this idea has merit and take a shot at it. I think is would be a very useful addition to WP.

Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: Posts, Pages and ‘Bits’??Yeah. I guess I was thinking about it from a CMS perspective. To me the addition of Pages made WP a CMS more than just a blog. If you look at websites, there seems to be one more type of data block, something I am calling Bits.
Posts are large data (content) blocks that usually fall into a category. They are a part of a larger unit.
Pages are large data (content) blocks that are discrete.
Bits are smaller data (content) blocks that are also discrete.
Bits can be echoed anywhere within the page: inside the loop, outside the loop, in the sidebar, in the header, in the footer. Used in the template, Bits allow further separation of content and structure.
Again, I am looking at it from the non-tech, end-user’s perspective. I have some skills, so I don’t have a problem editing the template to add little content to the sidebar or change the footer. But I think it would be powerful if I could give this power to my clients.

In reply to: Posts, Pages and ‘Bits’??masquerade — That makes perfect sense although I was thinking about it more from an end user’s perspective that may not be too savvy. I create sites for clients that use WP to edit their content, usually pages for static pages and posts for news items. To me, it sees that it would be easier if the user had a specific place to edit ‘information bits,’ not Posts, not Pages. There are plenty of hacks to accomplish this, but I’d like to see something that is a bit more intuitive.
For example, if my client went to ‘Bits’ and saw one titled ‘home-sidebar’, they could edit it with whatever they wanted. Similarly if they wanted to add additional wording to the footer, they would go to ‘Bits’ and find ‘footer’ and edit the text there.
I think WP is a great platform for non-tech people.

Is a widget like this possible??

In reply to: Posts, Pages and ‘Bits’??I was also thinking it could be useful for defining bits of information for templates. Instead of modifying the template itself, the template would include a call to wp_bit(‘footer’).

In reply to: Change directory names: wp-content, wp-adminThanks vkaryl. I thought of password protecting the wp-admin directory. I may go that route. I does add another step to the admin process, but for security sake, it may be the best route.
It’s too bad that directories couldn’t be controlled thru some type of configuration file. It would be nice to have a bit more control over the directory structure. Considering the growth of WP internationally, the names of wp-content and wp-admin may not mean much to a non-English speaker.
Just my $0.02.

In reply to: Change directory names: wp-content, wp-adminThanks masquerade. I guess I’ll keep them as is.
