WordPress used for something other than blog?

At Teacher Education we use it for an educational resource. It has the characteristics of a blog but is not used in that way. Articles and opinions are added sporadically.

Thanks. Anyone else out there?

it could be made into a forum.jsut set it so any registered user can post articles. then you could have a huge forum but itd be arranged weird.

leythers.co.uk is not a blog, but it is a heavily hacked beta version of wp 1.5.

I’m currently moving over to 1.5 gold and utilising its templates feature, which should give me a non-hacked, easy-to-manage web site.

1.5 has just made wp into a very powerful tool for non-blog type sites.

you can also check davidchaits review site which looks more like a ebay site than a blog.

the only limitation is your own ideas I think – you an use it as a news project, as a blog, as an art forum whatever you really want. I think it’s only the know how that is lacking that would enable someone do something with it.

otherwise you coudl try out of the box solutions like e107, and CuteNews, mambo whatever else. It doesn’t sound ike you’re after a CMS however, and it really depends on what you want to do with it. There’s another site somwhere here where the user created a local news website for local gossip.

CHAITGEAR is what Jinsan was referring to…

CHAITGEAR is actually very close to what I want to accomplish with my site. I’d be very interested to see how they set up their index.php page,

I use it for a coupon site. https://percentsavings.com

I have it as a site for restaurants, them posting specials, etc…its sort of self explantory.

(Still under heavy construction)

I use it to track the actions of senators and representatives:

My site isn’t a blog: https://www.automatorworld.com

After trying several CMS packages I decided to use WP as such. Still experimenting though. https://www.cartapacio.com

This is not even remotely blog like:

https://moneyterms.co.uk/

And this is very different from a personal blog (multiple authors, large number of categories):

Although there are some “blog-like” aspects (sermons and events), this primarily uses pages to make the site:

For a newspaper site, you ought to check out the Identification Bands theme.

The “blog” content (or whatever) goes in just one of four columns. I’m using it to (slowly) convert my real estate website https://www.tom-hanna.com/testindex.php to use the same theme as my real estate news blog. (Work in progress.)
