Using WordPress for an editorial team

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

Tech in Asia runs a 15-writer editorial team producing 5–15 articles daily and hitting 1.4 million pageviews/month. Workflow uses Google Docs editing as the first stage, Flowdo for handoffs, and Markdown pasted into WordPress via Markdown via Jetpack to skip HTML conversion. Built features include an edited-by field for accountability, a 60-character headline limiter for Google SEO, company-profile and sponsor-logo insertion, and a React front end that renders content via the REST API; native Facebook publishing and organic social sharing drive much of the traffic.
