I’m sick of us using DotNetNuke as the universal solution to everything at work. Brad, I see you are the master at using WordPress for your entire site. Anything I should know before trying this?
We’re redesigning a site for a local television show about hunting. I’ve designed it and we’ve implemented the design into DNN but we’re hitting some problems. They want a store and such and I’m bent on us running this thing from WordPress. Any wisdom from your lengthy travels in this realm would be greatly appreciated.

There’s not much to know I guess, got any specific questions?
The main thing I learned is: be careful not to modify the core files. You can almost always accomplish whatever changes you want via the theme or plugins. If you modify the WordPress files, it’ll be a nightmare every time you upgrade (as it was for me until I learned how to behave).
I’d also install a PHP opcode cache like eAccelerator or any of the other popular ones. WordPress is well-written but if you’re going to get a lot of traffic, the accelerator will vastly improve the speed and decrease the load on your server.

wp_supercache works well too.

Yep, though I’ve had problems trying to get my dynamic stuff (cart etc) working inside the cache.
