So here’s this powerful framework, but we have scanty documentation. I realize that Wordpress is highly documented online, but I’m also aware from my installation experience that a lot of what’s available is disorganized, fragmentary, and scattered. Anyone who catches the Wordpress bug will have the motivation to put forth the effort find out more but I have a hunch that providing a little local documentation will lower the threshold for catching it.
With that in mind, I’ve started–in a pretty rudimentary way at the moment–a set of Guide pages for our local installation. All that’s up so far is an edit of a document I wrote to welcome users to our old Wordpress setup. Documentation is, sadly, often an effort that takes place in the cracks of one’s roles and responsibilities–mine is no exception–but if I can gather a modicum of time (that most precious commodity), I’m hoping to grow it into a decent set of user guides.

I can’t find your contact info, John, so I’m just writing here… I’m looking to create a research blog but have found that I can’t upload my final papers or projects because they exceed the size limit. One paper is about 4 megabytes and a powerpoint presentation (really a photo essay) is about 22 megabytes. Right now I’ve just uploaded them to my personal web space and posted links. Is it possible for you to change the size limit so I can upload directly? Thanks!
