Changing Wordpress...?

    I was wondering if it would be possible to change any Wordpress blog into a website rather then a blog.

    What I mean is. Change it so basically it as a navigation like a website rather then displaying the content by date, archive, etc.

    I am sure I have seen this been done before.

    Thanks,
    BlueEew.

    If you use WordPress to create 'pages' only (rather than posts) you could create a website-like look and feel.

    Also, you can choose to exclude the widgets for categories, recent posts, archives etc.

    Good luck with it.

    Take a look at "magazine style" themes. Revolutions comes to mind.
    Good Luck

    That's what I was thinking. I will give it a try. :D

    Thanks for that. I have found some good theme.

    I have a few websites which use wordpress - see the first link in my sig. Rather than using pages I use posts but change the dates to manipulate the order which they are shown. You can then edit the template so remove comments, etc so it looks more like a standard website.

    That looks like a great theme (calling it a theme seems too narrow, it's more than that) - will come in useful

    I like what you did in your website in your signature. I wonder how did you do it. I am interested to learn.
