digg

Nice list of examples to use. And yes, Virginia, you can use WP as a CMS. Out of the box, it comes with a ton of features that a lot of other systems lack.

Wordpress has ton of plugins and a community wich provide unlimited help and tips, trick etc, so its worth imho to give it a try as a general CMS if possible.

There might be a lot of "perfect" CMS out there, but WordPress is the best for designers. It requires no programming or PHP skills to design the theme.

this is great!

They should have listed a hack that helps you correctly spell "Wordpress" in Digg titles.

Unfortunately, Digg has already shattered my faith in anything to do with Wordpress.

Well, basically this is clever use of the tools and API provided by WordPress. Still, the WordPress backend is still a blogging backend. No more.

CMS you don't have to hack :p

I've tried the all, Joomla, Drupal, Community Server, and the worst of the bunch, Ektron. WP is the best and coolest in terms of community and plugins.

Wordress? You mean Wordpress, right? How does an article with a blatant misspelling and train wreck of a headline like this make it to Digg's front page? I know I'll get dugg down for this, but what ever happened to proofreading ***** before you submit it?

Wow, what a great idea. Hack a blogging suite that has the one of the worst db implemenations available and use it for a db-intensive application, this has success written all over it.

hack? or theming...

Wordress hacks to use it as a CMS for any web site.

All your base are belong to us.

Dugg for explaining the Custom Fields feature; I've been looking for a way to do this for the past week!

Yeah, I love to blog with wordress, but i suppose wordress is fine as a CMS.

I'm surprised I could read the article, that it didn't crash with >20 concurrent users.

Does it help make it so more than 5 people can look at it before it crashes?

There are plenty of high traffic website that are built on WP! Sites that fail due to high traffic aren't configured right. A simple wp_cache plug-in would go a long way, but if you enable mySql query caching this thing is as solid as it gets. [my 2 cents] Now weather it should be used as a CMS for a website is debatable, but many people done it successfully.

Drupal is the SHIIEEET!

Wordress.

What a contentless load of old..

Dugg despite the typo.

Dugg, but not for the content. The design of the site is amazing. Something a minnow like me can only aspire to :(

Buried for not properly spelling the primary subject in your title.
