 * Hi there, I’m quite new to wordpress. Until recently i’ve only used it for it’s
   basic functions. But now i’m working on this magazine-like website which will
   be published once a month. I’m building it from scratch with a custom theme. 
   Anyway, my question is. **Is there a way (plugin?) to create a new tag/category
   or whatever for every issue, so that publishing can be done based on the current
   issue and you can search on posts based on issue?**. hmmm not the best question
   every, but i hope some of you get it and are able to help. Thanks in advance

 * Well, the wordpress search feature is quite lacking… but there are plugins available
   to address that – your satisfaction with any of those will depend on your deeper
   requirements.
 * As for publishing once a month – there’s nothing stopping you from future-dating
   all your posts to the first of the following month, at which point they’ll all
   appear magically when the date changes over.
 * as for browsing previous items, it would be fairly easy to do based on monthly
   archive pages. If you browse your monthly archives to may 2008, all you see are
   posts from the may issue.
 * now – imagine styling your monthly archive page exactly like your blog’s front
   page… now you have the equivalent of an issue-browser to view any monthly issue
   you’ve ever made, just as if you went back in time to view your homepage back
   then.
