Using Blog Software to Create a "Regular" Website

Web blog software can be used for more than writing blogs. The current blog platforms are suitable for creating and maintaining a "regular" web site, i.e. a site which is not a blog (with entries arranged in a reversed chronological order). I have adapted the free Blogger.com by Google to create 4 such web sites:

• ClinicalCases.org
• PeriopMedicine.org
• AllergyCases.org.
• ClevelandClinic.org/Hospitalist
  

BloggingPro.com has a nice summary on using the WordPress server installation (not the free WordPress.com version) as a content management system (CMS) rivaling Drupal: Feature: 5 Reasons to Use WordPress as CMS.


This Google video shows it takes about 2 minutes to start a blog on Blogger.com. Creating a web site has never been easier.
