Wordpress Database is setup and "Woo Theme" has been installed.
I've attached a capture of how the current site looks. "wpcurrent" and how the final site should be structured - attached pdf.
Note: I will need need to see samples of 3-5 completed projects
and will need your agreement that you will provide a w-9 before before we begin the project.
• No membership required for visitors to see blog articles/posts.
* Anyone can comment on posts but admin will choose if comments are approved.
• Not a forum, only the admin can choose topics/posts
• Not a social network
Home Page:
should show 10 most recent posts and be formatted as shown in pdf.

Get a Glimpse signup:
will function with plugin below "subscribe 2"
Contact page and Give us a Tip:
will be standard contact forms.
Google Analytics code will be provided
Here's the only tricky part:
* "Spotters" are the members that send the admin articles via the "GIVE US A TIP" pg 5 of pdf (email form). They can choose to become an OFFICIAL MEMBER by providing a password (admin can manually setup that person as a wordpress "subscribers") IF THEY DO NOT WANT TO TAKE CREDIT, they can just send the email form with their article anonymously - simple. Trick is, we need to make it appear that articles the admin posts were written by these people that have subscribed, or if it was anonymous then it will show the the admin was the author. - IDEAS?
For the backend:
we need the nav configured so when the admin adds a new post, they can set the category tab they want it listed under. The admin will not know how to go into the code/editor so it all needs to be possible through the main pages/posts windows. I will train them on how to manage the menus and edit the category code within the page html editor.
So if I wrote a new post on a new computer and put it in the category "Computers & Internet" as shown in the subnav. It would have show up in the "Computers & Internet" category list if I clicked on the ELECTRONICS/ COMPUTERS & INTERNET.
See page 3&4 of pdf, here's how I'm thinking this through...
If the main nav and subnav are all set as individual pages that simply have titles like "ELECTRONICS" and the image that will appear to represent that category, then we'd just need code/plugin that pulls all correlating tagged posts and lists them below as shown in comp. So page 3 pulls all tags: "TVs & Services, Audio & Video, Digital Cameras, Computers & Internet, Phones & Mobile devices, Gotta Have It..."
while page 4 only pulls tags "Computers & Electronics"
Key is that this has to be easy for them to manage adding new posts/categories without programming experience.
