When developing your own domain sometimes WordPress is not the view that you want to display. In Digital Studies we explored other applications and some of my favorites are here:
a. WordPress a. Examples: https://wordpress.org/showcase/ b. Tutorial: ‘WordPress Essential Training’ on lynda.davidson.edu
b. Omeka a. Examples: http://omeka.org/codex/Sites_Using_Omeka b. Tutorial: http://programminghistorian.org/lessons/up-and-runningwith-omeka
c. DokuWiki a. Examples: https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuinstall b. Tutorial: https://www.dokuwiki.org/manual
d. Joomla! a. Examples: http://community.joomla.org/showcase/sites.html b. Tutorial: ‘Joomla! 3 Essential Training’ on lynda.davidson.edu
e. Drupal a. Examples: http://topdrops.org/ b. Tutorial: ‘Drupal 7 Essential Training’ on lynda.davidson.edu
f. Koken a. Examples: http://koken.me/ b. I actually used this one on my website:http://digitalworld.rylandwheliss.com/
(Examples and tutorials provided by Professor Kabala)
Some of these applications are more simple than others. I very much enjoyed using Koken. It was very easy and told me exactly what I was getting. If you are looking for a different view than what WordPress provides I would recommend using a different application.
