• I’ve been using WordPress since 1.5, but I’m setting up a new site for a client, and I’d like to use WordPress as a CMS system first, with the possibility of using the blog functionality later on.

    Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

    Thanks in advance,

  • this is a great idea, one that I use for many of my clients, you can easily do this with the most recent versions. Just make the front page one of the pages that you create with WP. this can be done very easily, in the settings page. And then set up the theme in a way that allows for access to post where ever you like.

    Thanks for your advice!

    And then set up the theme in a way that allows for access to post where ever you like.

    That was the only part I didn’t understand. Can you explain it a little better?

    Take a look at Andy Beal’s site: andybeal.com

    At that site Andy is using a theme called Notepad. I use the same theme at my site: joehall.info

    This theme is designed so that the main focus is the pages of the site and the post are listed at the bottom. When I said that you should set up a theme to access post where you want. I meant that you should have the theme organized in a way that emphasizes the pages, and then the post second. This allows for the CMS centric application. Its all in the way that you design your site or “information architecture”. Google this topic further and you are sure to find many others that speak much more eloquently than I.

    Thanks a lot!

    That theme is exactly what I was looking for!
