I think that people are already seeing Wordpress as a CMS (Content Management System). That is how I teach it! You can use Wordpress as a blog, or as a regular website. Have you seen my site: http://www.ChristinasResources.com ? That is a WordPress site, it uses the flexx theme (http://www.flexxqueen.com is my link for that) AND it's not a blog! With regards to Social Media, I believe that it's important for people to get started. Yes, they need a strategy, but getting started is the first thing to do. After you use Social Media, you will see how YOU want to use it in your strategy. And that is different for each person... Ed,

AND it’s not a blog!

With regards to Social Media, I believe that it’s important for people to get started. Yes, they need a strategy, but getting started is the first thing to do.

After you use Social Media, you will see how YOU want to use it in your strategy.

And that is different for each person…

However, you (the business owner) want to get clear on what you want YOUR goals for your website to be. Then you plan accordingly. Looking forward to having you back again as an alumni in the next Spring Workshop that starts in March! Marilynn,

I seem to remember that WP is capable of addressing ALL our goals using the different pages in a particular theme - ie a blog, landing/optin page, sales pages - all contained within one website theme. Can you confirm that this is correct? Thanks so much! Hi Christina,

Regarding WordPress, i agree. WordPress is, increasingly, becoming a good CMS platform as well. Perhaps 2010 is the year when WordPress is no longer immediately thought of as a blogging platform but rather as an all-round platform. With it's main rivals in this being Joomla and Drupal. And i, also, think in regards to the questions you raise, that having a blogging and social media strategy will become - or should become - de rigour for businesses in 2010. For some, 2009 was the year for trying out / experimenting with social media. But this year people will really need to focus on why they are using it, and backed up with a proper social media strategy. Because if not, they will fall behind others who do. I think ..

Exactly what I needed to get focus. Having taken the class twice, I am now in a position to begin to manifest what wants to emerge. Also I think that websites need to be changed and upgraded as our ability to express our skills online improve. A year ago I wouldn't have been able to tell even a webmaster what I wanted. There is hope for newbies!... Thanks Christina for asking those questions. Exactly what I needed to get focus.
