This article discusses a project resulting from the request of a group of faculty at The College at Brockport to create a website for best practices in teaching and technology. The project evolved into a knowledge base powered by WordPress. Installation and configuration of WordPress resulted in the creation of custom taxonomies and post types, selection, and detailed customization of the theme to mimic the look and feel of The College at Brockport. A subset of solutions was created to show the power of categories, tags, and other taxonomies.
