References and Source Links TEST

Posted on by

This entry will test various connections to both pages within the WordPress blog site and the TNG database.

Links within WordPress

This link will point to a specific passage within the Vital Reference page in this blog (Massachusetts VR).

This link is done by using anchors and page jumps in WordPress. Suggest we always have links open in new tabs.

If we want to cite references/sources that don’t require the viewer to log into mixter.info, then we can copy URL information from TNG and then create and populate WordPress pages with that info. Personally, I’d rather not do this as we want to encourage people to register for mixter.info (and also would be a lot less work). The choice is ultimately yours.

Links to TNG – all require login to mixter.info to access (no way around that)

This link will point to a specific personal information page in TNG.

This link will point to the “References” landing page in TNG.

This link will point to a source listing in TNG

This link will point to a photo in TNG.

Categories vs. Tags

Posted on by

Categories and tags are very similar. They both allow you to organize content that can then be used in a variety of ways. However there are a few differences.

Categories are best used for broad groupings of topics. For example, if you’re creating a site that reviews media, you might use categories such as Books or Film or TV.

Tags are much more specific topics that you want to use to associate related content. For example if you were creating a site that reviews media, you might want to use tags such as science fiction or horror or action adventure.

You can combine the two! For our review site example, you might be reviewing a romantic comedy. You can assign the broader category Film to the post, then give it some more specific tags such as romantic comedy, or even use the name of the actors and director as tags. People who view that post could use the tags to then find relates posts around that topic.
