Best way to structure Wordpress content sites?
After careful keyword research and outsourced content creation, I use Wordpress for the site platform and drop the Thesis theme on top.
I've mainly been building the sites with half a dozen static pages and a latest news (blog) page - setting the home page to static and blog to "latest news".
The problem is that if I want to add content to these sites it's added to the latest news page as a post and I think I'm missing a trick to get posts grouped thematically in categories.
So my latest site I've set a static home page with an article on the main keyword, the categories as nav menu items so I can add related posts to the correct category and I've hidden and no-indexed the "latest news"/blog page so it becomes redundant (I had to set it as the blog page in settings/reading when setting up the static home page.
I'm still not convinced that this is the best layout. One thing that occurs to me is that I need to specify a sticky post in each category so that the main category article stays on top.
A couple of sites I've just left the home page as a blog and added articles, but these sites don't seem to rank so well.
I'm looking for suggestions for the best way to structure these type of websites and any tips, particularly with regard to seo (that's seo specific to this type of site, not general stuff).
