[webproducers] Re: Using Wordpress as a CMS

WordPress addresses this issue at:

http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Lastnode/Wordpress_CMS

My opinion: Wordpress is a great blog engine, and Drupal is a great CMS. I
would suggest not trying to turn one, into the other, and using each for
which it was intended. Both can be tuned up, or down to suit your needs.
