A new website

    Hello,
    I am building a website as a resource for History majors. We have a variety of content that we wish to post, that needs to be put up in different ways. Do you know of a theme that will support multiple kinds of written posts? A straight blog will be too cluttered. What we want is multiple posting areas under one page as well as pages that are not posting areas.
    Best,
    Andrew.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hey @ahoymades

    Do you have an example of what you would like or were thinking it should look like? Even if its a site that is not a wordpress.com site – so we can get an idea of what you mean? :)

    Of course, What I’m thinking of is like halfway beteween these two websites
    http://earlyamericanists.com/the-junto-podcast-network/
    http://josephadelman.com/

    What I’m thinking is that the site can have that blog capability and style, but I still want the pages differentiated.

    Hey Andrew,

    You can definitly have seperate pages (and different content on each) with your Blog posts showing on the homepage of your site, like you mentioned in the sample site you gave above.

    From the links you sent and what you said previously:

    “A straight blog will be too cluttered. What we want is multiple posting areas under one page as well as pages that are not posting areas.”

    I’m not sure I totally understand what you are wanting. Can you elaborate on what you mean by “…What we want is multiple posting areas under one page as well as pages that are not posting areas.”

    Perhaps explain it to me in a different way?

    Okay,
    I think part of my problem is I’m not sure what I want!

    This is my ideal for what we want the website to have

    A) Guides to the mechanics of writing history papers
    a. Writing
    b. Research
    c. Citing
    B) Links to history blogs with small descriptions
    C) A space for students to post their work.
    D) A section of readings, broken by subject or professor
    E) Upcoming events

    Thank you for bearing with me by the way
