 * I am enjoying using WordPress so much, adding news through our dozens of pages,
   with just the correct cat include tag need on each page.
 * It has me thinking, is their away to plug in my website, all php, for editing,
   with preview, and manage with WordPress ?
    I haven’t had to open up a word editior
   program in days, and it has me spoiled 🙂 Would be awesome if I could use it 
   as a content management for all the exsisting pages..

 * That’s what the new “pages” feature of 1.5 aims to do.

 * snooky789,
    how do you specify correct category code? My understanding is that
   you post in the blog to update different pages…depending on the specific category
   you embed in their HTML?

 * I have the Show Categories Plug in [http://mookitty.co.uk/devblog/category/show-categories/](http://mookitty.co.uk/devblog/category/show-categories/)
   
   Then you specify what category you want to show for that page, by adding a call
   tag.
 * Here is an example of a line I am using for all the pages of my site, just changing
   the #
    ` <?php show_category_posts("category=85"); ?> <?php if ($scp_posts) :
   foreach ($scp_posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?> <div class="post"> <div class="
   storycontent"> <?php the_content(); ?> </div> <?php endforeach; else: ?> <?php
   endif; ?>  allusion, I have been playing around with the New page some, but I
   have a website full of pages, that I would like to control, edit, with WordPress
   but haven’t thought of a way to do it. Looking at some other solutions now, like
   CMS Master.

 * snooky789,
    It is possible to use wordpress as a CMS – it’s what I did for one
   of my clients. I removed the commenting altogether, cutomized some templates,
   created the category hierarchy in WordPress, created some mod_rewrite rules and
   she was good to go 🙂 – she now uses w.bloggar to update from her desktop.
