Addendum: To some degree, I'm really inspired by WordPress. I think: WordPress makes it really easy to make a functional and useful website; although pages feel like they were a little strapped on; and making new page templates is a little hard; it's geared towards blogs.
So a lot of what WordPress does, I like. But my idea would be geared towards making websites for small local businesses, for example; rather than blogs.
The trend over the past 1-2 years has been to move away from a blog look and feel with Wordpress installs. You can absolutely run small businesses with Wordpress installations and very easily pick a snazzy design up for $50 or so that comes complete with industry-specific pages. I've used http://woothemes.com/ for that sort of stuff - really spotlights how malleable WP can be.
