When most people think about WordPress, they think about blogs. If you look at the front page of WordPress.org, they talk a lot about blogging as well. What they don’t tell you is that WordPress can also double as a very powerful CMS; you just have to set it up properly. It can be a bit tricky to get setup and working the way that you want; but this is where I come in.

In this 3-part tutorial + screencast series, I’m going to take you through the three steps of using WordPress as a CMS.

I had worked with scriptaculous and prototype to begin with, but decided to move over to Mootools because it’s a more light weight framework.

After the initial move to Mootools I was frustrated with the lack of community support and ended up moving back to prototype immediately. After I was more comfortable with working with frameworks I moved back to Mootools and haven’t looked back.

With this tutorial, I’m going to try to make sure that you have a great beginning to the Mootools framework. I’m going to walk you through getting everything downloaded and setup as well as some of the basic elements of mootools. After that I’m going to spend some time walking you through how to use the Mootools Docs, which is a site that you’ll be visiting very often during the use of Mootools.
