I am currently looking into WordPress and the functionality it can provide as a content management system (CMS) for a fairly basic website. I’ve installed the core package to take a close look at the functionality, specially because I was not able to find any content describing the strategy for a project like this one. Many claim that WP is great but I will have to find out by myself.

The time-consuming aspect of this kind of research is the time I have to spend becoming familiar with the syntax, functions and overall code strategy which WP provides. I have succesfully used MovableType (MT) as the CMS behind a couple of projects so I feel very comfortable with that package. However, I need an alternative for the project I have in mind and WP appears to be a good candidate. The project site will be very basic with only a couple of sections being heavy on the "dynamic" aspect. I hope to spend some time during the holiday break getting to know WordPress a little better.
