Presentation: Building a System for Breaking News/Intro to the Newsroom

Tuesday, February 17, 2009 4:04 p.m.

Tired of feeling constrained by your organization's CMS? In this presentation, Scot Hacker proposes the idea of registering a sub-domain off to the side of your pub's normal CMS, on which you can do anything you like... such as installing WordPress for breaking news coverage or multimedia presentations. Hacker also presents "The famous 5-minute WordPress install."

• WP-Mass-Upgrade - Upgrade all WP installations on a server in one go (assumes svn checkouts via WP-Create)
