Is About.com created with WordPress?

The blog portion of my site is controlled by WordPres, yes. But the articles, the lists of products, the landing page, and essentially every other part of the site is controlled by a home-grown CMS they call “ACME” (which stands for, I believe “About Content Management Engine”).

I use Wordpress as an intricate CMS, using simple hacks you can change into more than a blogging platform.

I can manage users too, have different page and post template designs, and everything else a CMS can do in a very, very light package that’s incredible user-friendly.

I’m a wordpress fan.

To me, the survey is a bit skewed. I don’t see a real difference in option 1 or option 2. Sure, blog content management applications generally only manage blog content, but blogs are nothing without content or the ability to manage it. Ergo, blog == CMS. By trying to create an arbitrary difference based on “full” or limited capabilities we would have to start nitpicking whether or not other “traditional” CMS applications are really CMS because they don’t offer “full” features. Or trying to decide which WYSIWYG application isn’t really WYSIWYG because of real or perceived limitations in their capabilities (for instance, NONE of them are truly WYSIWYG using the strictest definition of the acronym). Let’s stop worrying how to label things and get on with doing things.

I agree with Yunomi.
PS I don’t like your, this, comment system, actually it’s way of resolving ‘not filled’ boxes. A bit weird and not so user friendly with these redirects.

+ there is no feedback about submitted comment and, also, link ‘Return to Previous Page’ after I voted, actually directed me to web design homepage not to this article where I wanted, actually.
