DO NOT USE wordpress as a CMS. WordPress is excellent blogging engine and that’s about it.

I am writing this out of experience. I too was super excited about using WP as a CMS, because it was working so well on my blog. ALl the plugins, themes, awesome!

BUT, I did a terrible mistake when I decided to use WP as a CMS for a huge non-profit org.

I bravely installed WP thinking I will hack in anything I want, but,
they had such dynamic requirements to the page content and such complicated user access rules that every change they wanted meant hacking a plugin or tweaking php of my theme which took hours together.

This drove me INSANE!

And to my rescue, came my age old friend, Drupal.

Drupal is a CMS
WP IS NOT

WP is an amazing blog platform.

Please use caution, please learn from my painful experiences.

Thanks,

I’ve written a standard text in HTML. I’m looking to present it in a CMS. I haven’t
seen a book done that way. Might you know of one (or some).

Please look at my site. There is a lot of work there. The work needs to be “indices-sortable.”
Categories, I guess. Anyway I need advice and help.

Thanks, Jim Pohl

Also in it’s favour, the default admin pages look like they’re aimed at adults not children.
