Every blog has a list of some sort, whether it be a list of posts, search results or a list of archives. Often times these lists get rather lengthy and some times it would be nice to be able to put a promotional item into that list, or if we are speaking search results page, something of this nature. “Can’t find what you are looking for, click here” See image below.

Numerous blog posts and articles have been written on the topic of utilizing wordpress as a CMS or using it to run a magazine site.  A few months ago a client/friend approached us and asked us if we could build them easy to manage online magazine; an actual magazine not a re-arranged blog made to look like a magazine layout.

We’re talking cnn, guardian, abcnews.com type of stuff.  We gladly accepted the challenge and considering the client was a close friend of ours for years now, we explained to them that we would like to utilize wordpress and see how far we can stretch its capabilities.  With a moderate budget and a flexible timeline we got to work. (lots of other conversations happened before this step, but lets leave that for later, for example writing a specification documentation, workflow, use cases..etc.)

The site we are working on www.autoaggr.com … in the next few posts we will get into details about plugins, tricks and hacks we used.  Comments are always welcome and suggestions are greatly appreciated so bring it on. 

The site may look a little weird in Firefox 3 (we’ll get to that shortly)
