Hi
I wonder if WP MU would be a good choice for setting up a site - much like this: http://www.dolcevita.no
Actually, I'd like to migrate that whole site over to a CMS, and I'd like to use WP if possible. As I've understood, I can't achieve this with a normal WP installation. Because:
I need a site...
- with multiple post pages
- where excerpts of each post appears automatically on a "group" frontpage (like in one normal blog - but I need more than one).
As an example:
Dolcevita.no is a guide to Italy, where the Italy subpages are the region pages - and under them you'll find the pages about local places. (Eg. Under Italy: Toscana -> Siena)
I need the ability to post new stuff on each of the region pages (Toscana, Umbria, Sicilia). On for instance the Toscana page, each post about local places (like Siena) would be accessible via "Read more" links.
Furthermore, on each region's page (like "Toscana") I would like just Toscana sidebar elements to appear.
The very best would then be if the headlines an an image thumbnail from the latest Italy posts could appear automagically on the very front page.
In addition there are a handful of other main pages (like the "Italy" page) where I would like to post things, but these are more static.
Is WP MU a tool for me, or should I look for something else, like Joomla,...? I'd highly appreciate any suggestions?
I'm correct when I think that this is impossible with a normal WP installation, right? (To use WP, I believe the only solution would be setting up the regions as threads in a forum - using the SimpleForum plugin or the like...)
In hopes that I've managed to explain myself...
Thanks,
