 * I have a client whose site will be mostly static. The only thing they want to
   be able to update is a News sidebar on the homepage. At first I was thinking 
   of just using a CushyCMS-type solution, but we’ve done a few WP sites now and
   I wonder if it doesn’t make sense to just use WordPress for the homepage only.
   Or is it possible to use it only for the News sidebar?
 * Has anyone heard of using WordPress for a small little part of a site or page?
   I’d love to hear some opinions on this.
 * Thanks,
    Kevin

 * Why not use WP for the whole site. Mainly Page-based but with a single post category
   and some additional queries to pull this posts wherever needed? I’ve created 
   quite a few non-blog sites like this.

 * Yep; WordPress will handle this project just fine.
