Recommendation for Geotheme or other directory plugins / themes
-
Hello,
I was wondering, if anyone here in this community runs a directory using wordpress + a geolocation theme like Geoplaces or Geotheme or others. I have tested Geoplaces and felt with around 100 business entries that my page loaded superslow (up to 4 sec) already on a power server.
I would like to work with a fast, secure and SEO-friendly directory theme...any recommandations?

Just to let you know...I can not recommend that theme. I have purchased and tested it. For a quick install of a directory it is not bad but the customization is really a no go. I prefer WP Types+Views+CRED now for a directory. It is a little bit of work to set it up but it works afterwards perfectly.

Hey Tim,
thanks for the quick feedback. I have seen that theme and it is still in my "to test" list. The big disadvantage of the Directory Portal Wordpress Theme is that you have nearly no option to customize your entries. I would like to have a lot of custom fields (schema data would be perfect). Was already thinking to get a plain theme and plugins like Gravaty forms, interactive map and to program a few things on my own. But then I probably would have a slow site again...

A good content calendar/organizer suggestion?
Does anyone have a good content calendar/organizer/software/etc to help plan delivering and pushing out content? I haven't ever used anything other than an actual calendar, and that doesn't seem to help all that much. Is there anything better out there? Any suggestions would be fantastic! Much appreciated, Ruben

Embed WordPress blog into site or /blog?
Hi, Just a quick question - I assumed it would be a better to have a WordPress blog in a sub folder rather than a sub domain however I just wondered would it offer any more / less value if I just embedded the WordPress blog into my existing code? Thanks, Dan

Short Meme/Image Posts on Blog - Will this hurt me?
Hey guys, I use Hootsuite to cross-post to twitter/facebook/google+/wordpress. It's mostly short one-sentence posts (http://minecraftserverfinder.wordpress.com/). But it's updated about 5-6 times a day and the images are relevant and interesting to my followers. Currently the wordpress page is not hosted on my main site minecraftserverfinder.com, it just links to it. I do have another blog on minecraftserverfinder.com/blog that has a couple of lengthy articles. My questions are thus: Should I keep going with these posts? Should I consolidate the blogs and host them on my main site? Thanks in advance.
