I’ve heard some discussion on various boards about using the Wordpress blogging software as a content management system.

I recently decided to integrate Wordpress into an older site of mine as part of the re-design process. My main need was something that would make publishing news easier. I had researched a few alternatives over the past few months but nothing met my needs.

So, yesterday I created a new Wordpress template, and integrated it into the front page of my site. After a lot of tweaking to get everything working, its now running just as I planned. It might be a bit of a stretch for me to call this a CMS, as I am only using it for news and not articles. Whats important is that with a little tweaking it is doing exactly what I want it to do.

If you are looking for an “out of the box” Wordpress CMS solution you may want to look into Semilogic.
