This is a continuation of series on “Different Uses of WordPress”. Previously I have covered:
- Part 1 – WordPress as Job Board and e-Commerce Site
- Part 2 - WordPress as Review Site and Portal
- Part 3 - WordPress as Discussion Forum and Membership Site
- Part 4 - WordPress as Social Network Site & Contact Manager
- Part 5 - WordPress as Newsletter Mailing Script and FAQ Management System (you are here)
In this post we will be looking at two more uses of WordPress.
WordPress as Newsletter Mailing System
.
MailPress is a WP plugin that will add Newsletter Mailing functionality to your blog. It can send text or HTML based emails. It supports custom themes as well. If you were looking for a simple mailing list script for your blog, this is the plugin for you!

WordPress as FAQ Management System
.
FAQ Tastic is a free WordPress plugin to create and manage FAQs on your site. With multiple FAQs for various sections, this plugin is a great way of giving your users the answers to the most common questions that have been asked while allowing them to submit new ones. Users can also be notified automatically by email when their question has been approved or rejected.
.
Price: Free (seems like the author is developing a pro version at the moment)

newsletter? Thats good. Looks like another alternative for us.
It’s amazing how WordPress is becoming a platform for all sorts of applications beyond blogging.
@ Minnesota Attorney– I am very much concern with you. Its become a very nice and useful platform.
Looking Cool. Thanks For sharing. It’s great System.
WordPress is just soooo versatile, and getting better and better all the time. Soon the traditional custom web developer will be an extinct beast!
I am very much concern wiff all of yous….hahahahah….jokes aside, I am in total agreement as to the fact that WP is just about the best thing since sliced bread.
We are a group of volunteers and starting a new initiative in a community. Your blog provided us valuable information to work on. You have done a marvellous job!
@ Property Solicitors- yes this providing all of us very good info. So we all are here.
It such new concept for me. I am glad to know that. Thanks for sharing it.
I like the idea of the newsletter plugin thanks. I will look into it, can you add your own email addresses or is it just for registered users?
WordPress really is becoming more than just blogging software. It is so expandable and there is a plethora of plugins that can extend it to be whatever you need.
Try the WP DS FAQ plugin from diamond steel. This is the best FAQ plugin I have used so far

Thanks for sharing versatility of WordPress. Wonderful information.
Plugins for newsletter & FAQ, both are very useful. Thanks for sharing.
Faq system may be useful but emailing system not. Because if you sent much mails email servers can drop your mails to spam folders. Especially hotmail is carefull in this point. Thanks for your article.
is this for email subscribers or rss subscribers?
Thanks for such a wonderful Blog. I really get useful information about software support and various related aspects. Keep posting such good writings.
