Wordpress 3.0 as a CMS - Any good beginner tutorials??

[emmaburge]

Hi everyone

Ive recently introduced myself to wordpress theme dev, using wp 3.0

I'd like to move on to learning how to manipulate things so that wordpress is more a cms and less of a blog.

I find all sorts of articles talking about specific tips like custom taxonomies or making a custom page layout for a client to choose, but nothing that encapsulates "how to make wordpress into a cms" from the ground up sort of thing.

so i wanted to ask - does anyone either know of a good tutorial/reference, OR is the reason i can't find anything for wp specifically 3.0 because not much has changed in the methodology for making wp into a cms than for say, 2.8/2.9?

The Head First book for Wordpress is really good for beginners. lynda.com is a great site, but it would at the minimum cost you $25 a month.

Wordpress' website has tutorials as well.
