I did not go to here to record what I read and learned for more than one month, since I was quite busy in my day job as well as busy building a number of new websites in my spare time. Here is the first one that I would like to share as it is almost done.

Hong Kong University Departments (Chinese Name: 香港各大學學系)

I used the WordPress engine, together with the WordPress plugin Ultimate Tag Warrior and the WordPress theme Blog.txt, to build a website that furnishes a crsip overview of Hong Kong university education. The website records 215 academic departments of 7 Hong Kong universities, and tags each departments with appropriate labels. It also provides links to all academic departments of Hong Kong universities, and directs users to some relevant web search and information about them.

Yes, I used WordPress blogging engine not to blog, but to provide a directory service in a different and interesting way. The following lists useful materials that I read during the website development.

• Get Your Feet Wet with WordPress by Tim Ziegler (1 June 2006)
• WordPress Category Templates (from WordPress Codex)
• WordPress Template Tags (1.5)
• WordPress Templates and the “is” Functions (by Boren.nu)

Since I used WordPress engine doing nothing about blogging, I also empty the WordPress Update Services so that the website would not automatically notify any site update services when I inputted data into the database.

Having getting my feet wet with WordPress, I am now quite familiar with it.
