WordPress + P2 = Company Intranet in 5 minutes

I’ve mentioned a few times already that I became a big fan of P2 theme for WordPress. I currently maintain multiple installations of it, just because it is so easy to setup and start using. I have it as company Intranet or as a project collaboration tool. It’s like a blog, a wiki, and a chat room combined together.

Tweaking categories

I spent a bit more time yesterday tweaking the site. I love the Carrington theme, but a few things annoyed me. So I changed them. Here is a list:

Changed RSS icon to say ‘RSS feed’ instead of ‘Site RSS feed’. This way I can reuse it for feeds other than the main site feed.
Changed RSS link to point to category feed, when in categories.
Expanded posts in the categories. This was annoying me big time.
Moved category descriptions from the top, above the posts, to the sidebar. Reused the about box for this purpose, which made a lot of sense.
Created a sub-category ‘Reviews’ under ‘Movies’ and moved star categories under it. It makes life much easier for those who come here just for movie reviews.
