WordPress is definitely a good platform to use for blogging. I didn’t know that there are so much it could offer like the sidebar, footer, etc. All I know is how useful widgets and how wonderful other wordpress themes could be. Thanks for the insights about wordpress as cms.

I find wordpress more user friendly than any other cms. but you will need to careful about security aspect. You can handle security issue with proper permission on folders, security scanning plugin and using tested plugins. Thanks for sharing the article.

I suppose if you one knows absolutely nothing about databases and sql then wordpress is a really good tool for building dynamic websites. my problem is that i like to build everything from scratch first myself and then, and only then, look for other solutions to the same problem! that i when i discovered wordpress, now i may start using it if it helps speed up development time…. but on the other hand i have developed my own website-structure and cms tool that works just as well and is so simple to use, it does require the admin to become familiar with html and css but really i think that is a good thing, after all, why aspire to having ones own website if one can’t be bothered to learn basic html?

You’ve put together a great explanation of the different elements and functionalities of WordPress that allow it to be used as a CMS. It might take a while to build it exactly the way you want it, but the point is that WordPress can do it, so you have the benefit of a site that looks and functions as you want it, that can be easily maintained by one or several people.

I’ve almost become obsessed by WordPress and it’s not yet let me down to what it can do. I never considered the capabilities of multiple sidebars so that’s something I’m going to have a play. I’m due an overhaul on the site anyway so may integrate some of that functionality.

I still prefer using WP as a CMS instead of Drupal or Joomla.

Only thing is I hate using the custom fields, WordPress should improve this.

I always laugh when I hear SEOs talk about so called “black hat” techniques. It’s amazing what some people consider “black hat” and “spammy” and what others consider “white hat” and perfectly fine.

I think trying to reconstruct WordPress as anything more than it was designed to do is a mistake. WP is for blogging. There are so many solutions that make website editing super easy.

In short, let WP do what it does best and let others do what they do best
