Wordpress Widgets

Widgets encapsulate the functionality that goes into boxes located on the left or right sidebars or on top, like Joomla!'s modules.

This is essential functionality for us.

We want to use Wordpress as a general Content Management System that is simpler than Joomla! so easier to customize.

Static Page Management + User Registration + Integration of Webpages

The static page feature of Wordpress is another desirable feature for using it as a general Content Management System:

"This allows content pages to be created and managed outside the normal blog chronology and has been the first step away from being simple blog management software to becoming a full content management system."

We want to have a custom html-css front page linking to articles that is like Seed Magazine [Movable Type]or The Economist [?].

We need to have user registration, which Moveable Type is lacking. We also need to customize registration with user supplying an id at registration time. We also need to make pages from another system, Movable Type archives, only available to logged in users.
