newsletterSM_blog.gif We’ve all heard of blogs. What you may not know is that a blog is a database-driven content management system that, with some agile programming, can be bent to your very will. Using WordPress as the base, we applied it’s web-based administrative area, categories, and multi-level user accounts to make a website for the Charlottesvillle Local Motion campaign.

Although it’s in a “blog”, the content is pulled into the Local Motion website on the fly and reads just like text on any normal web page. The beauty of this is that there is a web-based interface that the client can use to update their own pages, with no web-programming knowledge or any special software.

The client can type and format in the admin area, or cut and paste, and then post the information anytime they wish. To affect where they want the content to appear on their site (tips, testimonials, news) they simply select the appropriate category, then publish.
