Changes to the 509 Media WordPress Website

There are major changes going on to the 509 Media website.  The look of the site may be changing, but the platform has remained the same.  509 Media runs on WordPress.  WordPress is a content management system.  WordPress was originally designed to be a blog platform, but many developers have used it to contain and organize large amounts of information.  509 Media choose WordPress for the ability to easily add and maintain content on the website.

We are working to change the look of the site.  The navigation of the site will be changing  as well in hopes to make it easier to find what you are looking for.  WordPress basically runs off of two different types of content.  The first type of content is Pages and the second is Posts.   Pages are static content that remain the same over time.  Pages are things like our Content page.  The Content page holds the contact form and rarely gets updated.  The next area is the reason many of you visit the site on a frequent basis.  Posts are the life of the website.  Posts are new content being added to the site as new things happen.  In 509 Media’s case we use posts for updated projects, how to articles, news, and this article.  A post can be anything you want to add to your website.  WordPress makes this very simple.  Posts can be made from any computer and many smart phones.  I use my iPhone to add new posts from time to time.  I rarely Publish a post from my iPhone.  Most of the time I will start an article while I am thinking about it and save it in WordPress as a draft.  This allows me to take a second look at the post on my computer before making the post.

We will be adding more information and images to the site over the next few days.   We have been working on an online store for the site and hope to have it up and rolling sometime very soon.

If you would like to see us make a certain change to the site please post up below.  Please keep in mind we are in the middle of making some major changes and a few things around here are not dialed in yet.
