I am not sure. I am going to put my blog on wordpress and I will be interested to see if the development community can empower me to create and attractive rich media gui. I am eager to see samples of wordpress based websites that are aesthetically pleasing..... victorseos last blog post..What will you do with your tax return?

@victorseo: appreciate your position on this. I’d agree that most CMS based systems are lacking when it comes to front-end aesthetics, though I wouldn’t throw Wordpress into the same group. Wordpress is a blogging platform with a vibrant and large theme developer community. They take quite a bit of care and pride making themes that are both pleasing to the eye and quite functional. Your article didn’t address Wordpress. That said, what do you think?

I am going to put my blog on wordpress soon, but I would never put my business site/presence on it. As I said in a blogpost last year cms is a back end tool and I don’t hink that a companies back end should be forward facing http://ims-seo.blogspot.com/2008/11/bad-website-practices-drupal-joomla-ms.html

@Steven: thanks for stopping in! Having the whole site in WP is a great strategy…so many people have this negative stigma of what a blog is, that they lose sight that WP is a publishing platform, a lightweight CMS.

Bryan I used to add WordPress onto already existing static sites, but the more I've gotten to know WordPress the more I lean to having the whole site be on WordPress. WP makes it easy to set all those static pages so why not take advantage of that ability. More and more I'm using WP for even static sites that don't even have a blog.

@David: Wordpress is a wonderful thing, how can you help yourself from being an evangelist The real power of Wordpress is when you truly take the time to know what you’re doing inside and out.

My own site was built in wordpress. Ironically enough, I have 2 installations, and the sub-directory is actually a real directory. Wordpress automates much of the SEO work, e.g. updating sitemaps when a post comes out, pinging all of the update services and a host of other features that I’ve spent hours on w/o Wordpress. I like to build the static site in Wordpress as well. (Disclosure: I’m a wordpress evangelist.)
