I think that everything lies in the definition "web site vs web application". Of course, the border is fuzzy and while it's easy to differentiate "extreme" cases, it's difficult to give a precise definition. A web site, to me, is something that mostly provides information, but not services. If you manage to book an hotel by means of it, it's a web application, not a website.

Given that, the original blog is... just obvious thing to me. I'm running a number of websites, for my projects and my photos, and I've been using a CMS since 2005.

If the post author is indeed using a larger definition of website than me, then I'm curious. Clearly, with a CMS you can book an hotel - all the major CMS allow dynamic parts, generally by integrating with some server-side framework. But I don't see the reason for such a solution, unless the webapplication part must be coupled with a conspicuous website part.

PS BTW, one should keep in mind Brix, which is a CMS-oriented framework for bulding webapplications with a strong CMS personality.
