[Hidden-tech] How can clueless client update website

[Terran Birrell]

Bob,

I'm not sure were you got the idea that the only thing you can edit on a
wordpress site is the blog.

You can have the blog, and as many pages as you want. The front page can be
the blog or a static page. You can also create other types of pages using
"custom post types". As long as they can use email they should be able to
add and edit content (including changing images, menus, sidebar content,
etc) on a well built wordpress site.

Please stay away from iframes for this project.

Let me know if you need help or pointers.

Best,
Terran
