Blogs as hub site

[Porn Junkie]

I want to build a new hub site to showcase my galleries. Im not talking about a traditional porn blog, but more of a place that I can post links to my galleries I build everyday.

Has anyone used wordpress to do this or is it too much other crap that a hub doesn't need?

Just seems easier to post daily in wordpress than to edit the pages html.

Thanks

Using Wordpress as a simple CMS is not unheard of. I have a friend that does exactly what you are talking about in a mainstream site.

When I started my blog, it was actually at the root of my linklist.

I don't build galleries or freesites but I think a blogging script would probably not be the best solution for what you want to do.

Perhaps a good TGP script might work a little better. I can't recommend any of them personally but I did see where a guy was offering his script free for beta testers here http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/...ad.php?t=39587

You could also look at some of the directory scripts out and use them to start some niche link lists. I use e-syndicat

Finally, you might want to consider a CMS like Joomla which would be pretty easy to update daily

Just curious since i've never used Joomla before but what advantages would it have over using wordpress?

I agree on using a tgp or link list script, but I want one that would display the links directly on the main page like LOR has, not just categories. But also that is free or bloody close to it Not that rich yet lol

Damn, I stuck my foot right into this one didn't I!

WordPress is a stripped down version of a CMS that really has focused on the blogging aspect of a CMS. Joomla is a full blown content management system.

You have more control over what goes to the front page, it has a news reader (RSS aggregator) built in, etc.etc.etc.

I haven't visited LOR in years so I really don't remember how it's setup but most script's templates can be manipulated to output the information pretty much any way you want to.

E-Syncicate has a free version. ADP is another script that looks interesting and is free

Those are some cool scripts, thanks Walrus!
