WordPress is a potentially powerful, business-class Content Management System. Potentially. Out-of-the-box, it’s just a blog. To unlock that potential and get from blog to business-class CMS […]

For a few years, I’ve been hoping for a WordPress fork (WordPress is an open source project that allows taking the code and using it to start a new platform, or ‘fork’) that focuses on Content Management System (CMS) capabilities.
