I use WordPress for some Blogs and I love it...

As far as using it for a typical website I have yet to try it, but I have been contemplating it for two sites... I just haven't gotten around to doing it yet...

I also use dreamhost and they have a great one click install list, and WordPress is one of the apps ...

Yeah I did and it worked pretty well with the way I linked it to my gallery and downloads etc. It took relatively little additional scripting actually.

I am using wordpress at dreamhost with the one click installs and have been putting up one page minisites easily and quickly.It works extremely well with multipage, multiarticle sites as well.

Nice idea. Using Wordpress for a small, multi mini sites would be great. It has lots of plugins which is really the upside of Wordpress. I love the look and feel of it. Would definitely give thumbs up for Wordpress as CMS.

I agree, wordpress can be used as CMS for content based sites, plus there are tons of plugins.

There are so many plugins out there and wordpress alone is close enough to what you'd need in a decent CMS. I've planned to do this but I just haven't gotten around to it quite yet. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use it outside of specialized reasons. If you need a basic CMS, it should be enough to do the job well.

Yes, I've made a number of sites using Wordpress.
The only complain I have is that Adsense never stops publishing the "blog" themed ads.
I tried to use ad_section_targeting but seem like it does not help

i use wordpress for my blogs and geeklog for my cms sites

Auctually, I do this too. Making pages is simple and so is "Posing news". I can also intergrate my own things into it so it makes it even better.

WordPress as a CMS is a great idea. There is a plugin which allows the use of PHP Includes using [] in place of <>. This opens up all sorts of possibilities.

I currently use WordPress as a CMS for one of my websites, it makes article writing for my staff a lot easier. WP is also so clean and simple, plus it uses CSS layouts and has a lot of SEO options built in, like editing post slugs, the use of H tags, etc...

Sorry for the bump, I was just reading what some of you had to say. And what a great idea, I think I'm going to give this a shot and turn my huge hundreds-of-pages-network (which only I can edit since no one else knows HTML, basic CSS, etc.) into a Wordpress-powered network.
