pelf, I'd love to see that project.
adam, are you talking about this guy? Can you point me to whatever he has created on top of WordPress?
Michael, this looks amazing. No one can tell if your ecommerce site was built with WordPress!
I glad that you found the post helpful Mohsin.

I've seen wordpress used often as an entire website. All pages and everything done through wordpress due to the easy to use back end. The funny part is a lot of these I've seen simply aren't used for a blog at all.
Also I've seen wordpress used as a css gallery many times.
The potential of WordPress is amazing and thats why so many people use it. I've seen it used in many different ways and just the other day I saw a tumblelog for the first time.
Some really creative ideas you have there, I really liked the 1st idea a lot !
I am using that Idea to develop some of the niche sites.
