Wordpress as a CMS

February 18th, 2007

Isn’t that what it is?

As wordpress organizes and categorises posts, archives, all sorts of things, you think it would be a simple task to use it’s structure for a non-blog style website. With this in mind:
I have found myself high and dry above the web triangle, my compass spinning.

The goal

To use wordpress as cms for a non-blog website. I have a load of links: See below that I think will help accomplish this task.

I will build this site and document the progress, It will a be useful learning oppurtunity.
This post is just for general reference and a guide to myself as I without bearings head into the anything is possible with WP dimension.

To be fair I have been scratching my head a little, but now feel ready to undertake this task as a theoretical, hypothetical diversion into what might, or indeed could have been..

So the thing is:

I have a site design nice-ish, needs a little work and was planning to use a content management system (CMS) to allow the owner of site the ability to update and maintain content.

With my move here to dreamhost many new and exciting options became available, and I initially looked at Joomla for the job. I don’t know perhaps I didn’t give it enough time, perhaps I am not up for the task, these thoughts have plagued my waking hours.

Deny the gremlins

The urgency that was here to begin with has subsided, I feel now ready to undertake this coding challenge, and to make it beautiful..
