 * Oh gosh yes, that’s why I’m undertaking this. It takes just way too long to update
   it as it stands now.
 * I really appreciate the input. I’ve been stewing on the “organization” bits for
   days now while I worked on my theme. *L*

 * WPyogi, this is exactly the kind of help I was looking for. Thankyouthankyouthankyou!
 * That dynamic widget plugin looks awesome and that would work fabulously. I wouldn’t
   need a static page for each category then and it would greatly simplify things.

 * Krishna, yes, I’ve been all over that. And that’s why I’m asking for a bit of
   help. My site – as it stands now – is more CMS than blog style. Does anyone have
   suggestions for organizing it? A few of the resources I have read said it’s best
   to think through the organizational aspect before just jumping in willy-nilly.
 * WPyogi, thanks for that and the quick response. I have looked at it. And know
   I’ll need to get the old info all the way over to the new WP site. I know there
   are tools for helping. At the moment, what I’m really concerned with is getting
   the bones organization down. I don’t want to have to switch mid-stream because
   I didn’t think something through.
 * The stories easily fit into categories as WP defined. But I guess where I’m stumbling
   is if I click on a category, it takes me to a list of those categorized stories
   not the page that introduces the story type. Can widgets be used to handle this?
   As in having the description of story types appear on the side of all posts of
   a type of story? Would it then be redundant and not worthwhile to have a separate
   WP page devoted to each story type? Or would it make more sense to lump all the
   types onto one general page. Then there is the issue of linking those static 
   pages – a custom menu for that?
 * This is a very different way of thinking about my website than I am accustomed
   to.
