Hi everyone, I know Wordpress is great and there are many Warriors using it as a CMS rather than a blog, but do you all have any favorite sites using wordpress or plugins that do a great job of categorizing the archives in a better manner than the standard date/month type approach?

Especially if you are looking at a site with lots of content, let's say like a very big news site. What would be your recommendation in terms of plugins to organize the content by subject so that readers can easily navigate to the approrpriate topic.

If you also have samples of Wordpress sites that you think area great example of categorizing their content and displaying a good sitemap and/or table of contents for reader navigation, I'd appreciate your sharing this info.

I have a Brand New Hardcover MasterMind Book on How to Create Your Own Mastermind Group and Create Wealth that I will send to the Warrior who replies and gives me the best sample of the above and will update this thread with the winner on January 25th. Thanks in advance for your feedback and help with this.

    You don't really need any plugin to "categorize" the content in a WP site (be it blog or whatever).

    WP has built-in categories and tags.

    It also is capable to display "archives" based on categories and tags.
    I have helped to manage blogs with over 15,000 posts - is that big enough for content?

    "Archives" in any WP based site is just another way of fetching posts from the database: depending on your needs/wishes you can have zillion of criteria based upon to get and display your posts/entries. You can query your posts by time of posting (commonly known as daily, weekly, monthly, yearly archives); by category (category archives); by tags and any parameter that exists in the database.

    Categories are meant to organize posts in hierarchical structure (i.e. categories > sub-categories and sub-sub-categories etc.); while tags are supposed to be used for making cross-category "horizontal" connections between posts.

    Furthermore, you can use plugins like related posts and/or in-series to manually create clusters of posts by 'topic' (as you mentioned).

    And there is NO "best practices" that is best for everyone. Unless you give a detailed description of how your content should be organized - any question is useless.

    <rant>Any thread that starts with "the best..." or "the most..." and similar phrases - are bad practice. What is the best for one warrior might be the worst for another. Don't chase THE BEST. Look for what's working for YOU! Which means ask concrete questions that refer to your own situation!</rant>
