[mezzanine-users] Wordpress to Mezzanine

[Flavio Barros]

I'm a Wordpress user and trying to learn Django. As a learning experience, 
i am migrating a blog to mezzanine, to get used to deployment process and 
maybe develop some things that i could need.

From a developer perspective i think that mezzanine offers a lot in 
compared with Wordpress, because i can use Django for example that, at 
least for me, looks a lot easier to work with.

But my question is: from a user perspective what are the advantages of 
mezzanine over wordpress?

Other question: mezzanine runs faster than wordpress? Consumes less memory 
from the server?

[mezzanine-users] Mezzanine modal announcements

[Josh Cartmell]

Hey all, I've opened up a site announcement package I've used on a couple
of Mezzanine sites.  You can see the code at
https://github.com/joshcartme/mezzanine-modal-announcements/tree/1.1.3 or
https://bitbucket.org/joshcartme/mezzanine-modal-announcements/src

(I haven't figured out how to get hg-github to update master so the master
branch on github is quite a few commits back).

On that page are instructions on how to use it.  Once installed you set up
announcements in the backend and they will pop up to users on the frontend
of your site.  You can control how often a particular user would see
announcements and there are configuration options to determine if/when a
particular announcement is shown.

There might still be some rough edges, so send me some pull requests if you
fix bugs!

Good luck!
