Poetry site nearing 10,000 posts

In less than two years since moving to the WordPress platform, emanila’s poetry site, www.emanilapoetry.com, now counts more than 9,500 entries (poem entries and comment posts) from more than 1,000 members.

emanilapoetry’s WP installation was carried out in September 2007. Its current database size is not a bad performance for a website operating in a very restrictive niche market. Unlike other user-generated content sites, emanilapoetry members are expected to observe certain rules on metrics and word play to ensure acceptance of their works to other members.

emanilapoetry has been online since June 19, 2005.  Until its move to the popular WP blogging platform, its first two years prior to embracing the WP platform had been a toss-up between strictly HTML encoded pages and a small news publishing application which like WordPress allowed members to post their poems without admin intervention.

emanilapoetry is one emanila website that we are very proud to be part of.

Poetry in motion, literally

Poetry enthusiasts and emanilapoetry members can now have full access to www.emanilapoetry.com using their mobile phones. Recently re-launched by Team Emanila, the poetry site’s mobile version uses a WordPress PDA plugin.

“We are slowly reaping the benefits of migrating our site to WordPress,” says emanila publisher, Romy Cayabyab.

“The WP PDA is just one of the many plugins ~ developed by the WP community ~ that we have installed in the poetry site.  The current site is definitely more flexible and writer-friendly that it was last year.

“The WP install was the overwhelming favorite of our Writers Group members when asked  during a targeted online survey in July 2007.”
