I'm loving the newsletter and word processor ideas! Check out the newest updates to the Prologue theme called "P2" including dynamic page updates! Very cool!

I met a person who paves driveways that uses Wordpress in an unconventional way for his business. The site is set to private, when his men go out to inspect a new job they take pictures of the driveway and upload the photos to wordpress remotely. The boss back at the office reviews the pictures and emails a quote for the new job to the crew. Yet another ingenious way to use Wordpress!

This is what makes Wordpress the most popular blogging software; it can wear many hats. BTW, I so wished that wiki plugin was working.

Hi,

I actually use a wordpress-MU installation for hosting multiple Curriculum Vitae right here: http://cvvanmij.nl/wkossen.
(actually, only one CV yet, but more to come) It's in dutch, but the translator from google will at least give you some idea about the content even if the translation is dodgy....

You could of course say that I'm using Wordpress as a CMS, but this is rather specific so I just mention it here anyway. Feedback is of course highly appreciated...

Cheers

Willem Kossen

The company I used to work for was approached by TimeOut to build a version of their website in 3 weeks. I'd been pushing our developers that we should consider using WordPress, and so we built Time Out Sydney in WordPress and it looked better than it's international counterparts!

I'm pretty sure it's now running some hokey CMS, but WordPress was more than capable to the task and no-one was any the wiser.

I've just started using Wordpress on one of my projects. It took very little modification and hacking to make it do exactly what I wanted. Big thumbs up for wordpress.

I am intrigued by the newsletter manager idea. It makes a lot of sense. Certainly if the right plugins are added, etc. At least, if your needs are simple. Worth a fiddle, that one.

I only started with Wordpress early this year, using it as a CMS for the news/newspaper section of the site (http://www.nerjatoday.com/n... as well as for blogs. It's easy to use, easy to customise..
I find that the plugins can be useful, even if not used for their original purpose! Not having any real knowledge of PHP, I tend to adopt the 'fiddle' approach. Play about with it, change it all around..if it goes wrong, start again. A very versatile platform.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Wordpress isn't on the Packt list for Best CMS awards as you said. Maybe you were thinking of the best blog award? See the link below showing Drupal coming in a close second to DotNetNuke (Which I've also tested and had a good experience with).

When I moved from my own custom CMS to an open-source CMS, I was looking for one specific feature: the ability to easily specify several custom fields with input validation, (e.g. title, description, URL, photo upload, zip code, address) then display that content in any format I want, whether it be a slideshow, a sortable table, an alternating left/right aligned, alternating colored odd/even formatted layout, or any number of possibilities. I have not figured out how to do that with Wordpress or Joomla, although I'm sure it is possible in some way, I don't want to have to "hide the category" as the author of this post suggested just to display content as I want it. Drupal makes that type of behavior simple if you put a couple hours into learning.

If you are upset about Drupal's admin interface, consider that I hide the admin interface from my clients entirely, but instead provide 'add', 'edit', and 'delete' links wherever they belong. Administration interface should be built directly into the front-end web site. The ideal admin interface for a CMS should not be an entirely separate UI.
