How do I create an online glossary?

0

One simple, cheap way to do it if you were starting from scratch would be to hack up a template for any standard blogging CMS. For each term in the glossary, you’d make a separate “post”. The title of the post is the glossary term, and the body of the post is the definition, etc. Then, you can have the system list all “posts” on a single page, which page would in effect be your glossary. Clicking on a post could take you to an additional page with more information, or not. This display could look as much or as little like the html table you just showed as you want. This option would make use of the simple text editing environments built into the CMS for adding/editing entries, and then also use functionality if you needed. You could actually do a lot of cool things with this, like categorize your glossary terms, tag them, make them commentable, etc. For this I’d personally recommend TextPattern, because I find any editing of the WordPress templates
