Just curious, can VSD publish easily to wordpress? I want to be able to offer clients an easy way to manage their own pages and many of them use wordpress already. Thx.

VSD is a singular system Jenifer. It can publish to the Wordpress directories, but it can't publish to a page itself or integrate with Wordpress. They can add an iframe to use the pages they publish in VSD, but I don't think they would find that an easy thing to do. Hope that answers your question.

I'll take this the other way on the Iframe as JoAnn suggested. Place an Iframe in your WordPress pages pointing to the VSD pages that you want to show. This way the two of them stay separate in the class room but can play with each other on the play ground.

I would just suggest you set your clients up with a S-Drive Stream and build that into VSD... MUCH easier than word press.

Thanks for the replies. I'd prefer to stick with S-Drive but my client wants Wordpress on this project. I think she wants to be able to make changes on her own, though she won't really be able to do that anyway in an iFrame right?

I'll see if I can talk her into S-drive hosting instead.

I don't get why you would want to mix VSD and WP.
I'm all for VSD, especially on SDrive with a Stream. Very easy to manage But both WP and VSD/SDrive provide a full website with blog, so no need to cobble them together.

After trying to help a client get to grips with a WP site (commissioned by her organization's home office) – 2 weeks of trying to make a custom template work, every little thing was a pain in the @$$. I told her if we could ditch the WP site, she could have a new site, done exactly how she wanted in a few hours. I made the site in VSD, saved a copy on a jump-drive, bought VSD to put on her computer and voila! The client is familiar with Photoshop, so learning to use VSD was easy for her.

As for those clients (except for the one above) who said they wanted to be able to manage their own sites... well, none have ever gone near their sites.

Hiya Jenifer,

If your client is set on a WP site, I would highly recommend that you do "just" a WP site and not bother with a VSD site at all. As Paintbrush already mentioned, there's no need for them both. WP has the capabilities to be a complete website, so if they are intent on having WP I would work with that on it's own and skip the VSD site as it's just plain not needed.
