WordPress as a CMS: Pros, Cons and examples
written by Daniel Angel for the WordPress Stuff section

When we first began the process of re-designing our site, we knew that we wanted to keep it simple and make it cms/database driven. We also knew the blog klog would be powered by WordPress. Not wanting to mix things and overcomplicate ourselves, we eventually decided to manage the entire site with WordPress. Now, WP is a heck of a publishing tool. IMHO, now no other blogging tools available out there come even close to it. However, using it as a fully fledged CMS is a whole different issue.
If you decide to go this way, keep in mind that you’ll probably come across some hurdles. Powerful as it is, a vanilla WP installation/theme combination won’t get you far, so I wanted to share some of our experiences, the issues we had and how we solved them. Hopefully it will help some people out there. This post is the first delivery.
