Disclaimer
• Please excuse all the text and screenshots. I’m used to using this for my students, but they make great notes!
• I’m going to upload these after the session to http://shanta.ca, so you don’t have to write this all down.
• Please ask questions! I’ll try and add them to the slides after the fact.

Information architecture and knowledge There are two ways of looking at how people find information: when
someone is knowledgeable about a topic, and when someone doesn’t know much about a topic.
If someone is knowledgeable about a topic, they can follow a trail of breadcrumbs (such as a menu) to lead them to the right place.
If someone is less knowledgeable about a topic, or there are large pieces of information, it is easier to narrow or filter down the results.

No WordPress Installations Were Harmed
Importing: For the demo today, I used
WP All Import (the free edition) for XML data. The paid edition allows for importing and placement of Advanced Custom Fields as well as images.
I also explored and tested WP Ultimate CSV Importer for CSV files. Out of the box, it will import into all of the standard stuff, as well as the Advanced Custom Fields.
Other Goodness: To keep testing the imports, I had to
keep deleting and re-creating posts. I used Bulk Delete that did the job amazingly. It will also delete selectively.
To do restores, I use Backup Buddy because it is so easy to use. This is a premium plugin, but they have wonderful packages for educators and students.
I used the City of Toronto Festival Open Data set (XML format)
