Hi Jeff,

This information is a little out of date. It was written for WordPress 2.0.2 and their ilk, however it should still serve as a great basis to get started. Some information has already been incorporated into WP by default. For example, the Filosofo Homepage Control is no longer needed, as WordPress provides for this feature anyway.

But as for examples, there is no one particular way of setting it up. This site, for example, is made based on the setup above. Also Bike Pittsburgh and The Lippis Report.

And just about every other site in my portfolio, come to think of it.

Looks great, thanks. Can you give me any sample-sites or links, so I know ahead of time approximately what it will look like, if it will be worth my undertaking?

Thanks again,

Jeff

Hi Andy,

Good plan asking, as this article was written a few versions of WP ago. I should really update it, but just haven’t had the time. I actually haven’t had a chance to test Sante’s plug-in myself, so I can’t vouch for it.

Good luck with your project!

Hi Nathan,

Love the website, I’m getting started freelancing so your how-tos look like they’ll be very helpful.

I’m thinking of setting up my portfolio site using Wordpress. Currently, do you think your method shown here is the best way, or is Sante’s plugin better? Or is there a new method you’ve found that’s better than both? I thought I’d ask since your last reply was a year ago.

Thanks!

That plugin looks very useful Sante, I’ll try it out on my next site and if it works well, I may consider adding it to this article.

Hi Nathan,
you might like to review a plugin we have developed to this end that seems to be working fine – it’s called blogslot and allows a very flexible menu management for both static pages and categories – very useful for multilingual bloggers or more simply to better organize your side bar and other areas of your template – check it out at:

I’m hoping to release this as an all-in-one plugin but I have to either rewrite some of the plugins or get permission from the people who’ve set them up thus far.

So I guess the answer would be, “Nkay.”
