The Post contents section is the easiest to figure out. Sort of...

Title: This is the title of your post. Pretty easy eh? On your Blog settings->Features page you can make titles optional or not allowed (hide the field). The default for that setting is "required".

Link to url: This one is a little confusing. IF you want to associate a web page with your post you would paste in the URL here. On your Blog settings->URLs page you can tell Quam Plures to link the title to this URL if you provide one. Your template can display it as "Link: what_you_put_in_link-to-url", like in this post for example.

Type: This one is a lot confusing. Most of your posts will use the post type "Post" which is the default, but there are quite a few options. Some of which are probably dumb.

Follow up:

  • Page: this is for informational items that are not part of the normal blog post flow but you do want listed on your web. For example the traditional "About Me" page would be a post using type=page. These items can be placed with a widget, such as the "About this system" link above.
  • Intro-Main, Intro-Cat, Intro-Tag, Intro-Sub, Intro-All: each of these is covered by it's own sample so no sense in re-writing it all here.
  • Podcast: this is a special case that will call up an audio player if you have a link to an audio file in your "link to url" field. Your template can display the player anywhere but will typically put it above the post text.
  • Sidebar link: heck I dunno what this one does. I'm thinking it probably puts links in the sidebar, but really that means it puts links in a widget that you might put in the sidebar container.
