Fixing the Hello World dilemma

Description (Last modified by jjb)

Hello World posts are icky. They appear in the feeds all over the site.

Here's what we should implement.

  1. When a blog is created, don't create the hello world post as per Wordpress standard.
  2. If count of posts for current blog = 0, then
    1. If logged in as blog admin, display link to blogurl/post.php with flashy text "Click here to write your first post!" in h2 or something nice
    2. else, display text "This blog has been created, but the author has not posted anything yet. Visit the homepage to see a list of recent posts." or something else pithy. (homepage could link to portal.php)

This solves multiple workarounds for feeds that are being created on the site-wide level.

(Wonders if we should apply a similar conditional statement strategy to the about page. Only, we'd need to keep the blank about page in there so people would know to create it in the first place.)
