A blog that stops being just a one-man effort is a source of joy that can turn into a source of worries and stress all-too-quickly. The best way to prevent such a thing from happening is switching to a platform like Edit Flow the minute you’ve reached the point you have to hire new editors. EditFlow is going to make everybody’s job a lot smoother, as it is a dashboard for WordPress that lets you see what your editors are doing at all times. EditFlow gives users custom statuses, a shared calendar and both editorial comments and metadata. All the tasks that you could assign to your editors are placed in a much more dynamic context when using this platform.
You can keep all your users organized both by department and by function, and you can see your upcoming content budget at a glance. If you make a habit of meeting with your editors in person, then you can print copies of this budget for everybody, and bring them along with you. And you can always keep a watchful eye on your blog’s most-visited content by signing up for direct notifications.
You can download the Edit Flow plug-in for WordPress here. In addition to being free, Edit Flow is open source.
