Content management is always a challenge. The way I have been dealing with it is to just post reference articles like this the same as news, and rely on the category system in the sidebar.

So far it is working pretty well. I get fairly regular hits daily on articles such as Khufu’s Pyramid, the Step Pyramid, and of course, the series on Jean-Pierre’s work on Khufu. And there will be more reference material to come. The next big project will be Abydos. I plan on expanding what I did with Heritage Key, but over the course of several articles, and in more detail than I could really get into with those, which were really focused on the ARCE symposium. (What I wouldn’t give to have been at that!)

WordPress is pretty good for content management, and I am not using the software anywhere near its capabilities. I will probably begin porting the reference articles into static pages at some point, but for now I like being able to premier them on the front page.

Always a work in progress, as you very well know!
