Yes, navigation to those childpages was a problem when I was adding the static content of my former website as pages to my blog.
And I solved it by using Ryan’s Suckerfish dropdown menu plugin,that made it possible to display links to only the parent pages in the navigation bar, but with dropdown-menus with the child pages when hovering over them.

This makes the navigation even more direct than your solution does, without cluttering the page with lots of links.

Hi,

second Malaiac’s post, but wanted to ask if there is any difference really, other than it is more “readable”?

Ehm, sorry…

Header = title

Any ideas on how to create a (sub-)page containing a list of its child pages including not just the header, but also (part of) the child page content?

Thanks!

`wp_list_pages(‘child_of=’ . $wp_query->query_vars['page_id']); `could be replaced by :
` wp_list_pages(‘child_of=’.$post->ID); `

KISS ;)

That sounds like a question for a future post. :-)

What advantages obtain from direct tagging, whether manually or by widget, vice using the WP category?

As best I can tell, Technorati is picking them up just fine as a “tag” and I seem to score relatively high in the search engines. Of course, I don’t have an identical version of the weblog running using direct tagging as a counterpoint, so I don’t know how to test this.

I still think tagging is a better way to go for most situations, but I guess there is a fringe in the WP as a CMS world that would use page/subpage/hidden/visible concept as a structural tool. In that case, this would be a more semantic solution.

Interesting. This would have useful application for category archives as well, especially for those of us who liberally use sub-categories as a means of tagging.
