The client for Zetaprints.com approached me for a news site based upon WordPress. Using WordPress 2.3 I developed a solution for a community-based news site where users submit news and events.

Many plugins were used: Akismet, Cimy User Extra Fields, CountPosts, Event Calendar, Get Author Profile, iMax Width, Restrict Author Access to Edit Comments, Role Manager, Search Everything, Subscribe2, VoteforPost. Sometimes I had to modify them to provide the client with exactly what he required, and I also modified the WordPress Admin interface to hide some items with CSS for Authors as it was a little too confusing otherwise.

Multiple loops were used to display posts on the front page and a business directory was created and integrated into the theme to allow people to display their businesses and contact details attached to their profile. Also, a custom query was created to show three highly commented posts over the past few days.
