You don’t have to be a certified geek to use WordPress as a content management system, but there is a learning curve, and it can take a while to traverse. If you want to find out more about installing and customizing WordPress to be your content management system — no matter what type of Web site you’ve created — check out WordPress For Dummies, by Lisa Sabin-Wilson and Matt Mullenweg. If you prefer getting your info right from the source, grab the WordPress Codex at http://codex.wordpress.org. The Codex is nothing more than a fancy name for the user manual. (If you don’t know where to find it, you could spend days searching for it.)
If you’re trying to populate hundreds of pages and keep the content on those pages fresh, a content management system helps you automate the process. if you don’t have such a system in place, you might as well go ahead and shine up your coffin now because you’ll run yourself into the grave trying to keep up.
