Wordpress 3.0 as a CMS - Any good beginner tutorials??

Hi everyone

Ive recently introduced myself to wordpress theme dev, using wp 3.0

I'd like to move on to learning how to manipulate things so that wordpress is more a cms and less of a blog.

I find all sorts of articles talking about specific tips like custom taxonomies or making a custom page layout for a client to choose, but nothing that encapsulates "how to make wordpress into a cms" from the ground up sort of thing.

so i wanted to ask - does anyone either know of a good tutorial/reference, OR is the reason i can't find anything for wp specifically 3.0 because not much has changed in the methodology for making wp into a cms than for say, 2.8/2.9?

 

Have you been to wordpress.tv at all. they may have something mate.

 

thanks wallpaperblogger, didn;t know about that site! gave it a search and doesn't seem to be much there except a debate about whether wp is a cms or a blog.. thanks anyway
