   For my random blog I didn’t expect WTC to catch onto it. Thanks for the mention Mark!

   ScaleGamer is much more then a simple WordPress blog, many man hours has been pored into it’s development and a lot of the features are yet to be shown.

   The site is still evolving but the wordpress platform allows everything else to continue forward while the backend remains solid.

   Well, I may be a little bias, but I rock the hell out of Custom Fields (for photos, photo credit, updated banners, thumbnails) over on my collection of writings: http://o.rang.es/

   I am using WP as a platform on http://www.invisible-movement.net and it goes far beyond just a blog. I’ve been experimenting with custom fields ever since WP 1.2 (which was the first version I used) and I’m trying to develop some more interesting things there and create a theme that’d be meant for websites like mine.

   Hi guys, I’m using WordPress for an online magazine. Check it out here. It’s still being finalized. I will release it as a theme but you can already get it through SVN, check my site out for details (max.limpag.com).
   The magazine theme extensively uses custom fields. Check the difference in treatment of a banner story to a featured story to a regular news article. I’ll be writing more about as soon as I finalize it.

   This is what I might need to turn WP into a database tool for students information.

   hahah – every time I turn around there is something introduced that I’ve told myself I need … I didn’t know about custom fields (how to use them at least) until now … so I’m glad you linked it and showed it’s potential.

   I’m working on a studio site for my graphic/web design/writing right now. It will be very much less a blog and more a website. I won’t link you since it’s not currently using WordPress. It was back in the “Hey! Paying for a CMS is a good idea! Who needs open source?!” days. Or .. daze.

   The company I work for use WordPress pretty extensively as their platform of choice. http://www.adtegrity.com They have a few other sites like http://www.lolviral.com but that feels bloggish to me.

   I’ve used custom fields to control everything from layout to data to pulling information from a external stock application.

   Check out my first all wordpress site. It is a site for a manufacturer of Leather Lingerie so – BE WARNED – open it in appropriate surroundings.

    I’ve been wanting to do some stuff with custom fields for a bit now. I’m gonna look through these links. Thanks for posting them.

    I would very much like the debate about the uses/applications of custom fields in an inventive/useful manner to be started up again! It’s a pity the original contest petered out…

    I have found the blogs using WP foe e- commerce tobe very interesting. I think I will be experimenting with the drag and drop plug in very soon.

    I used custom fields to build our library directory and have reused individual library location info on various news and event (blog) postings as well as the staff directory (password protected).

    By the title, I thought this was going to be a how-to.

    We have actually used WordPress to run our site called Halal Tube. It doesn’t appear to be a blog at all.
