How WordPress Could Become Even Better
While WordPress has become my CMS of choice, there is one major hurdle that it needs to clear before I can deploy it as broadly as I would like. WordPress is still a Web log.
WordPress is structured around a blog engine and though it can be hacked and suppressed, the work is not justified for Web sites where blogging is not required.
This is not a problem for most small E-tailers since blogging is an effective way to meet a niche’’s need for information and community.
What’s the next step for WordPress? Make the blog behavior optional just as pages are currently. If I choose not to add pages to a WordPress blog, everything works seamlessly. If I choose not to add posts, the core of WordPress needs to be bypassed.
Is this changing in version 2.0?
For anyone interested in WordPress development, the beta of WordPress 2.0 is now available.
