Linda and her creative team write volumes of high quality tutorials on how to create scrapbooks with your digital pictures. As of this date Google has approximately 21,900 pages indexed on the ScrappersGuide.com website. Now that is a web SITE!! From public pages to premium content, a gallery and forum there are significant amounts of material and community involvement over at Scrappers Guide.
Here is a look at what is happening on the WordPress site presently:
Up until recently all the public pages were built as static html pages using Dreamweaver. This is not a bad thing – but a static website has limitations that a dynamic content management system such as WordPress can help you overcome.
Linda now has the ability to make site-wide changes with a single input. She also has taken advantage of the fact that multiple authors can create new content for review and then publication. The day the new WordPress powered site went live there was a buzz of comments from numerous enthusiasts who have become familiar with the quality tutorials published by the Scrapper’s Guide creative content team.

Additional Notes:
This site makes extensive use of the Widget Logic WordPress plugin – allowing for custom sidebar content that is specific to pages, categories and posts in certain categories on the website. The conversion from HTML to WordPress took place over 7 months and is ongoing as the team works through the original pages and reworks them into the new. (Redirection by John Godley is an essential resource for moving old pages to new urls). Overall the site is more user friendly as the WordPress pages are more Search engine optimized, galleries of images and product are more interactive and comments are enabled for ongoing discussion of content. The Thesis Framework for WordPress was selected as the base design to build the custom ScrappersGuide.com website layout. Page layouts include a single column, left column only, pages/posts with right side shopping cart (utilizing the robust E-junkie option for selling CD’s and downloads), standard three column posts and more.
