Well, Relating to Christians post, he is saying pretty much what I would have said.

Hehe.. This might be a bit long I am in this weird sort of typing mood.

I use wordpress for alot of sites too mainly becuase it is very customizable. Pretty much can be used for anything except taking you to work and back.

The code is standard and neat so you don't really have to be a genius to edit it and lots of people code template for it pretty cheap. I have seen sites like cssremix.com using wordpress - It isn't just a blog software it is sort of a CMS. They are also making a forum system called bbpress.

Well.. not as long as I said but you kind of get the idea what wordpress does.

Okay, thanks guys for all the responses. I'm not more clear on the topic
