Blog evny: setting up the structure
I’ve been thinking about switching to WordPress from Blogger, but neither service can do what I want:
- I want to have Home, Blog, Cam, and Contact as top level pages.
- I want Home and Contact to be static pages I update once in a while.
- I want be able to post to Blog and Cam since I update them frequently.
- I want Myst and Life to be subcategories of Blog.
- I do not want Cam to appear as a subcategory of Blog.
Basically, it’s two seperate blogs (one for Blog and one for Cam). The only ways I can think of making it work are:
- Using a lot of else/if statements
- Using different templates for each category (which WordPress doesn’t do)
- Setting up two WordPress blogs (which I would like to avoid)
I would greatly enjoy it if the nice folks at WordPress could enable different templates for each category.
P.S. Has anyone else get strange results when implementing Blogger’s new Backlinks feature?

Actually, Wordpress 1.5.x now has a page feature that allows you to create a static page with updatable abilities. Everything else there is possible too, I believe. If you want I can setup an experimental wordpress for you to try things out on… Just let me know.

Dunno if it can do what you want, but have you checked out MovableType?
