Thomas Tolleson on "Structuring Weblogs and Categories"

Hello!

I’ve been able to custom design the pages on my site, but I’m having a difficult time getting my head around WordPress structure. From my perfunctory exploration, it appears to have only one weblog (blogstream, or whatever) with multiple categories. This single weblog feeds dynamically out to the index page of my site. I can also create pages which can accomodate a single post, but these are merely posts in the single weblog and will not only appear on whichever page they were posted, but will also show up on the index page.

This doesn’t work for my site at all, which is a record label.

On the front page, we have three columns with three blog feeds (“new releases,” “announcements,” and “tour dates”).

We will also have an “artists” page, where bands (each being a weblog post) can be searched by their genre (a category) and users can link the band’s releases (weblog posts on the releases page). None of the artists posts appear on the releases page and vice-versa and artist posts won’t appear on the homepage.

Is this possible in WordPress? Or is wordpress built as a sort of single-weblog publishing platform?

Thanks!

THT
