Most people think it's just for blogging because Wordpress is mainly geared towards blogs (look at wordpress.org).
It's an amazing blogging platform and client-friendly CMS, but it's really not the best CMS for most other situations.
Also, I fail to see how an entire section on popularity proves its worth as a CMS.
- adbge 16y agoIn the past, making Wordpress do other things than blogging has been painful at best. Maybe this is changing in 3.0, I haven't tried it out, but just because Wordpress can be used as a CMS, that doesn't mean it should be used as a CMS. I think it is a "right tool for the job" scenario, where Wordpress is great for simple blogs, but not competitive when stacked against other CMS platforms. In addition, I think more people are familiar with the concept of a blog than with a CMS, so you're much more likely to get a "wordpress? oh, like blogs?" response.
