Though WordPress is by far the leader when it comes to blogging software, it has made significant strides in the last two years towards becoming a quality Content Management System as well. This means that those who love WordPress can now easily bridge the gap between blogging and a website designed for news by setting up their blog as a CMS.
What is a CMS? I would define a CMS using WordPress to create a website that does not display your posts in reverse chronological order. In other words, a CMS is using WordPress for something other than blogging.
Some examples of WordPress as a CMS:
- News or Magazine-Style WordPress Site/Theme
- Building a Portfolio Site
- eCommerce Site
- Picture Gallery
- Photoblog
- Video Blog
- Directory
