Plugin to control home page content

  • Hi

    I have created a page that is my home page and this page will not have a blogs on it. Rather I was planning a series of blocks 2 across and 5 down . Each of these would have an image and perhaps 50 words and link to a blog category.

    I can create this in HTML and paste it in to the page admin html section but this is rather slow and requires a bit of design and html knowledge.

    Is there any plugins, where I could create a similar design format that can be edited outside of the page and then inserted as a WP Tag into the HTML area for the page?

    I was thinking of something that had an image up-loader and text areas for sort of featured content areas. But not a slider or slideshow, just static

    Cheers

  • I understand what you’re trying to do and why, but the way WordPress does things is better than what you’re proposing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying you should conform to some limits in WordPress. All I’m saying is: WordPress can help you achieve your end goal while keeping things dynamic and flexible.

    Instead of creating a page whose content is your layout, you should find a theme that has a front page template that looks like what you want. Posts are the building blocks of a WordPress site. The job of your theme and its templates is to arrange those building blocks in the way that you like.

    Look for magazine style themes. Those have layouts similar what you described. Check out Magazine Basic, for instance.
