Many corporate websites are not a great deal more complicated than a blog and WordPress is capable of a lot more than most use it for. There may be some cases where there might be a better option, but they would be quite specialised cases. I don't use Dreamweaver at all, so no, I don't know of any plugins. However, it could be possible to do almost all the content via posts, pages and widgets so that they could be edited from the dashboard.

I think some of my clients are getting mixed messages about WordPress which I think is a good tool for creating blog and small sites, but not corporate sites. What is your take? And, have you found any good CMS plug-ins for Dreamweaver in case a client wants to edit small portions of text on a web page? Thanks as always! John Hi Kris,

However, I didn't have the time, so I just searched on Google and found one that I believe is satisfactory. Great write up of Thesis, though. Looks like it might have been a great way to go.

No, it's not. I only made this theme a few months ago and started playing with Thesis a few weeks ago. I'll be using Thesis for a new project I want to do and maybe one day I'll bring it over to this blog (not really sure yet, since this is working for me at the moment). Oh, haha… my stupid.

As Chris adds new features he'll make theme updates so that you can take advantage of new features. There's a custom folder which shouldn't be overwritten on upgrade, which has your own CSS and images when you make changes to the theme, if you change other core theme files you have to remember not to overwrite them too.

I do that all the time. Works well with comment luv. I have no idea how it goes with threaded... which threaded are you using? Is it one that has to replace comments.php. That might be a little harder, although probably not much harder than any other theme. Just be careful not to overwrite it when you upgrade. Haha, don’t worry. I do that all the time.

The wife is always telling me off for not seeing stuff thats right in front of my eyes. :D Certainly looks like it has a lot of options. Any idea how it would work with plugins like commentluv, threaded comments etc? I swear I did look Kristarella, must have been a ‘male’ look.
