WordPress Versatility
- When a post isn't a "post"
- Posts or pages as data objects
- Comments: children of a post/page
- Forget about chronology, order according to your criteria
- Structured blogging
- Why use WP for things other than blogs?
Plugin System
- Radical mods without core WP changes
- Why use plugins? Aren't core mods faster to do?
WordPress "Pages"
- Non-chronological by design
- Hierarchical
- wp_list_pages();
- Subpage Listing Plugin (self-plug!)
Examples and Audience Suggestions
- e-commerce/product catalog
- petition/sign-up list
- personal health log
- directory
Improvements in 2.1 and beyond
- "Static" front page (2.1)
- Better management of large number of pages (2.1/2.2)
