WordPress
Utilising the powerful backend of the open source application WordPress, Big trousers can help facilitate a functional well designed website for your organisation.
Features
Themes. Readily available themes, or styles to create or manipulate to suit your brand.
Plugins that extend the core functionality of your website. A large number of user-developed plugins are already available and can be used to do virtually anything you want to.
Password protection
So you want to share something with some people, but not everyone? Easy, protect the article in question with a password.
Post to the future.
You can write an article today and have it appear on the website at a future date, automatically.
Multi paged articles
If your article is too long, cut it up into pages, so your readers don’t have to scroll to the end of the world.
File/picture uploading
You can upload pictures or files, and link to them or display them in your articles. You have the option of creating thumbnails of pictures when you upload them.
Categories
Organize your articles into categories, and sub-categories, and sub-sub categories.
Save Drafts
Save your unfinished articles, improve them later, publish when you’re done.
Previewing Posts
Before you press the “Publish” button, you can look at the preview for the article you just wrote to check if everything is the way you want it. In fact, you can do that at any time, since the preview is “live”.
Archiving
After you’re site has been up for an extended period of time, what matters is how well your articles are organised. WordPress provides you with several ready made options to display the archives of your articles, containing all the old articles. You can choose from yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, category-wise or author-wise archives, and easily link to the archive pages from the main page (or any other page) of your site using a template tag to generate the links to these archive pages. Since WordPress generates pages dynamically, all these archive pages come at no additional space-cost to your server.
Searching
WordPress has a functional built-in search tool, which allows visitors to your blog to search for terms they are interested in, and the search-hilite plugin that ships with WordPress can highlight their search terms, so it is even easier for them to find what they were searching for. In addition to this, the plugin also does the same for someone who arrives at your blog by clicking at a search result in a search engine, such as google. All in all, searching is fun, with WordPress.
Allowed html tags
Not everyone is evil, but keep those who are by limiting which html tags are kosher on your site. The default html tags allowed by WordPress are a sane choice to let people use html in their comments, without compromising the safety of your data or server.
Moderation
For the control freak in all of us, WordPress provides an array of moderation options.
You can moderate
all comments before they appear
comments with specific words in them
comments posted from specific IP addresses
comments containing more than some specified number of links.
All these moderation options keep spammers and vandals in check.
Notification
WordPress can keep you in the loop by sending you an email each time there is a new comment or a comment awaiting moderation.
