@Jason Hando Try this http://wordpress.org/showcase/ There are lots of non-blog WordPress sites listed.
There is even a specific tag for CMS

I worry when any customer starts a conversation with "I want $technology.". Whatever the value of $technology. (Almost as much as I worry when the conversation starts "I want to your design." It's when they start with "We've got this objective...." or "Our public have got this problem we'd like to do something about..." that I start to feel a warm glow inside. (Disclaimer: Was a Joomla advocate for 3 years, work with techies who love Plone, now usually find Wordpress or Drupal is the right tool for the jobs that come to us.)

Is WordPress just used for blogging, or mainly used for blogging? Or has it's popularity spread to CMS features, such as a community website or a small-medium business website?

It would be good to find WordPress examples in different spheres...... I stumbled across this thread with some links that might form good examples:

and this one:

Any other examples?

Cheers,

Jason

I used to think the race was between Joomla, WordPress and Drupal.

Now I think it's down to WordPress and Drupal.

I've been encouraging small charities and other non-profits to use WordPress but it's great to see interest in the larger organisations (private and public sector).
