This presentation was part of the Wharton Web Conference: whartonwebconf.com
We all know that WordPress is an awesome blogging platform, but under that bloggy exterior lurks a fully operational Content Management System.
During this presentation we take a look at some sites you might not think run on WordPress, install a bunch of plugins to make WordPress an even better CMS, learn what Custom Post Types and Taxonomies are and how to use them, plus cover custom menus and conditional widgets.
