Do you have a small library or association website that needs to be managed and most of your content contributors know little or no HTML? Think a full fledged content management system like Joomla or Drupal is too much to take on? Then Wordpress as a CMS might be for you.
Wordpress is on open source blogging tool, used by libraries, associations and other organizations to run their blogs. However, it also includes functionality such as Pages, Links, and Media Management, which make it capable of supporting small to mid-sized websites. By adding plugins, Wordpress can be extended to support the content on most library websites:
- News
- Events
- Database Lists
- Book Reviews
Relevant Resources:
Plugins
- Blogroll Links
- Google Maps for Wordpress
- Inline Feed
- OpenBook Book Data
- Widget Logic
- Event Calendar 3
- NextGen Gallery Tool
- Scriblio

WordPress is an excellent choice for a CMS and its development is moving more in that direction.
One of its biggest strengths is the way the Plugins work - they're easy to install and almost as important, they're easy to uninstall. And the templating system WP uses makes upgrading far easier than most other open source software I've worked with - changes to the core don't affect your structure.
And the documentation for WP is unmatched - including video tutorial sites, like my own at http://www.seehowtwo.com.
