I don't like the idea of categorizing my notebook entries; they are topics that I am interested in, but still don't know very much about. That means it's a little early to peg a category, or impose a structure like a sitemap. But I do want to find them. For me, there's no better way to do this than to automatically link to these entries any time I mention them elsewhere in the site (using Ubernyms). As for alphabetizing? Yes, that's arbitrary, but no more arbitrary than revserse chronology. Wonderful question, Scott.

However, you do have to know a little bit about <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages" rel="nofollow">how Pages operate in WordPress</a>. The easiest approach is to modify either index.php or page.php as follows, and save the new file as glossary.php. This example assumes you have predefined a glossary category with a category ID of 5. Hope this helps: <pre> <code> <?php /* Template Name: Glossary Page */ ?></code> <?php get_header(); ?> <div id="content"> <?php echo wp_snap('cat_ID'); ?> </div> <?php get_sidebar(); ?> <?php get_footer(); ?> </code> </pre> Marc, fortunately, you don’t need to be a PHP expert to make this work.

However, if you don't use category.php, then you'll need to assign all posts you want included in the glossary to a single category ID, and then use the function call to display content for this category on a Page. This is in fact the procedure I describe here (the Musil theme I am currently using doesn't have a category template either). Claudio — You don’t need to have a category template to make this work.

If I understand you correctly, you\'ve created a unique category page for your glossary, which sounds like a good idea too. I created a Page (i.e. with a capital P) because I wanted to take advantage of the page navigation tabs in my WordPress template. Hi Nic — Glad you found it useful.

I found a link to your page on the WP forum, and followed your instructions and now have a great Glossary on my site! This is necessary for me as it contains a fair amount of technical terms. I, as you, wish that only the first occurence of a word on a page was linked, but I can live with it. One question though, if I might. I'm curious. You say to create both a page for the glossary and a category. I'm not sure what you mean by that? The way I've done it was to create a category (as it happens with an ID of 22), and then a template for it calling category-22.php. Is this what you meant? If not, what did you mean? No biggie, it's working for me, just curious. Cheers Nic Hello Shanta,
