 * I am thinking about using WordPress for my own homepage. Whilst I do want a blog,
   I also have a lot of static pages. I know that you can make “pages” in WordPress.
   I am just wondering whether the wordpress website is itself running WordPress(
   and plugins I guess) and whether this includes all of the site including this
   forum.
 * Thanks for any information on this.

 * Everything else would be a mishmash of other tools and code. So no, wordpress.
   org is not run fully from WordPress.

 * Thanks for the response and for the further information on what tools are used.
 * Is it feasible to use WordPress as a basic CMS for developing small sites? Most
   CMS are far too complex for my needs and I am especially not interested in multiple
   access rights and roles and other things which tend to over-complicate systems.
   I just want to be able make websites using a stable, supported and flexible system.
   Whilst WordPress is obviously primarily a blogging tool it seems to suitable 
   for making such websites as well. Or am I mistaken in this?
 * Thanks.

 * I frequently utilise wordpress as a CMS, and with the use of some plugins etc
   it is indeed possible to develop small sites utilising the platform.
