Wordpress 2.6 is more than a blog
Wordpress 2.6 was released just a couple days ago. During the time I have covered Wordpress, I have always considered Wordpress more as blogging application and not really a full featured content management system. However, ever since I installed Wordpress 2.5 on one of my sites, I can't help but think that Wordpress now rocks as a CMS.
If you haven't looked at Wordpress in the past year or so, I recommend that you do yourself a favor and take a look at what you may be missing out.
Below is a brief video tour of 2.6 prepared by Matt and company.
About this CMS Enthusiast
Bryan Ruby is the owner and editor for CMS Report. He founded CMSReport.com in 2006 on the belief that information technologists, website owners, and web developers desired visiting sites where they could learn about content management systems without the sales pitch.
Outside of his late night blogging hours, he is the Information Technology Officer for a field office in the federal government. Away from the computer he enjoys his family, bicycling, camping, and the outdoors.

#1 I agree
This this last update with change tracking is fantastic. It's so good, in fact, that we now make all new small business websites based on WordPress. It just makes sense to get clients to use it. They can update more content on the fly instead of calling us to do it. At the same time it simplifies our maintenance efforts.
I would venture to say that anyone making a typical small business website that's NOT in WordPress platform, is really doing a disservice to themselves and their clients.
The "Press This" app is also pretty darn cool too. :)
#2 no forums
the only thing that's still missing is the ability to link a forum to the blog in a way that users can login to the forum and blog at the same time and add comments to both.
this is pretty major imo.
