Michele’s Freeminding

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about Wordpress. And I think it really miss something.

What I’d like to have, is something like Textpattern’s sections. Sections allows to separate content so that you can handle each part in a different way, but in the meanwhile, you can also integrate each part together with the others.
So sections are not really a way to create multiple blogs — even though they’re kind of –, but they’re much more powerful than categories.

I love Wordpress. I really do. But many times I’ve thought about switching to Textpattern.
This would allow me to integrate my books section together with the rest of the site: every time I post a new review, it would also appear as a new post on the main blog, but given to differences in how I handle the main blog and the books blog I’d also be able to format them how I want from a single Textpattern installation.

I’ve been playing with Textpattern for a while now, and I think I might switch with not much hassle. But I love Wordpress, so before doing it, I’d like to know if you know of any way to do what I’m doing now, but with a single Wordpress installation — I’d prefer not to simply base everything on categories.
