3) A hybrid: website + blog + library structure

This is almost always the strongest solution for a project like yours.

Strengths:

• Pages create stable sections (Pure Mind, IFS, Self-Talk, Jesus-Minded, Vagus Nerve, Audio Scripts, DOCX Library, 7-Day Courses, 28-Day Journeys).

• Blog posts allow you to publish each individual item (e.g., “Welcoming Prayer Companion Page,” “Morning Freeze Relief,” “Ānāpānasati Section 6,” “Allowing Marilyn Report,” etc.).

• Categories and tags become your navigation backbone.

• You can add custom menus, submenus, and sidebar lists that pull content by category.

• You can build searchable archives, like your own personal Kindle library.

Limitations:

• Initial setup takes a little more planning — but once you organize it, it becomes effortless.

When this works:
Perfect when you have many documents, many categories, and ongoing additions.

This is your case exactly.

🌿 The Best Approach for WordsHealMe.com (Your Use Case)

✔ A hybrid structure: pages for main sections + posts for all documents

This gives you the feeling of a private digital library with clean “bookshelves” and easy discovery.

📚 Recommended Structure

A. Fixed “sections” of your personal library (Pages)

These pages become anchor points in the navigation menu.

Example top-level pages:

• Pure Mind Library

• IFS Healing Library

• Self-Talk Healing Library

• Jesus-Minded Practices

• Vagus Nerve & Freeze Recovery

• Meditations & Audio Scripts

• Long-Form Manuals

• 7-Day & 28-Day Courses

• Printable DOCX / PDF Library

• Private Notes / Drafts (optional)

These pages don’t hold the content — they display lists of posts filtered by category.

B. Each individual item = a Blog Post

Every document you create should be a post, not a page.

Examples:

• “Morning Freeze Relief Practice – DOCX version”

• “Welcoming Prayer + Vagus Nerve Companion Page”

• “Pure Mind Article — Section 4”

• “Allowing Marilyn — Self-Talk Healing Report”

• “Ānāpānasati: Section 10”

Posts allow you to:

✔ Add categories (Pure Mind, IFS, Freeze Response, Jesus-Minded, etc.)
✔ Add tags (7-day practice, DOCX, audio script, long-form, emergency phrase)
✔ Automatically organize everything
✔ Build archives that update themselves

🗂 Ideal Category System (simple, powerful)

You only need about 8–12 main categories:

• Pure Mind

• IFS

• Self-Talk Healing

• Jesus-Minded

• Vagus Nerve & Freeze

• Meditations

• Long-Form Manuals

• Courses: 7-Day

• Courses: 28-Day

• Audio Scripts

• DOCX & PDF Library

• Personal Notes | Drafts

This creates an instantly searchable library where you can find anything in seconds.

🔎 Search + Navigation Setup

To make your private site feel like a personal “book”:

Install a better search plugin, such as:

• Relevanssi (best for private libraries)

• or SearchWP (premium, extremely powerful)

Add a sidebar with:

• A category list

• A search bar

• “Recent documents”

• A custom menu (“Your Most Used Sections”)

Add internal menus:

• A main header menu for major sections

• A secondary menu for your most active categories

This makes navigation effortless.
