			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://themeshaper.com">ThemeShaper.com</a> has a good article on using WordPress as a CMS and lists a few plugins that come in handy for this: <a href="http://themeshaper.com/wordpress-cms-plugins-the-bare-minimum/">Use WordPress As a CMS: Plugins, The Bare Minimum</a></p>
<p>I have a few recommendations of my own to add to the list.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.silpstream.com/blog/feed-control/">Feed Control</a> is a plugin that lets you add your WordPress pages to your RSS feed, and will also allow you to remove pages or posts from your feed.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/sitemap-generator-plugin-for-wordpress/">Sitemap Generator</a> is a good tool for providing a site map to your visitors.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.shiftthis.net/wordpress-order-pages-plugin/">Order Pages</a> is a plugin that allows you to easily and visually arrange the order of your pages in navigation bars and menus &#8212; you can certainly edit the &#8220;page order&#8221; number by hand for each page but if you have a lot of pages this makes ordering those pages a breeze. And the <a href="http://geekyweekly.com/mypageorder">My Page Order</a> plugin can do this well also.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.coppit.org/code/">Category Order</a> &#8212; while the above plugin arranges the order of your &#8220;pages&#8221;, this plugin arranges the order of your blog &#8220;categories&#8221; &#8212; which is handy if you are using your blog categories in an unusual way while using WordPress as a CMS &#8212; <a href="http://www.coppit.org/code/">Category Order</a> can be found near the bottom of the linked page <a href="http://www.coppit.org/code/">here</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> Here is a great list that contains some very helpful plugins for leveraging WordPress as a CMS &#8212; <a href="http://www.blueprintds.com/2008/03/13/top-10-wordpress-cms-plugins/">Top 10 WordPress CMS Plugins</a> at Blueprint Design Studio.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> (Friday; April 11, 2008) &#8212; <a href="http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/obfuscate-email/">Obfuscate E-mail</a> is a plugin I find I need on most WordPress powered sites I setup &#8212; you can post email addresses as links and this plugin will obscure the address in the html so as to confuse spammer bots.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> (Tuesday; May 6, 2008) &#8212; the <a href="http://www.im-web-gefunden.de/wordpress-plugins/role-manager/">Role Manager</a> plugin gives fine control over which users have access to what features on your WordPress install.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> (Tuesday; October 21, 2008) &#8212; <a href="http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/search-unleashed/">Search Unleashed</a> &#8211; Advanced WordPress searches with highlighting as well as searching of pages and posts.</p>
