For blogging I think wordpress is okay but for a CMS I think drupal may be much easier to use. Wordpress supports adding of posts easily but for features ans content types drupal will give you a run for your money. Also see Wahome's Blogs

Thank you for the article. Sometimes it’s hard deciphering why one might choose WP over Drupal or vice versa.

Having used neither it is interesting to know that one is built to fill a specific purpose while the other seems to be ready to build.

Not sure if I am understanding it 100%. I have used neither believe it or not and plan to keep it that way.

I use Wordpress, for my own blog KarlKevilus.com and for development for the entire BanditTracker network. (BanditTracker.com, BanditTrackerChicago.com, GeorgiaBankRobbery.com, etc…) I’ve created a plugin for items I’ve needed (Mapping, KML, geocoding), and have downloaded one’s I’ve needed from elsewhere. (Someone even donated $75 for use of the plugin!)

The key behind open-source is the community, I think the Wordpress community is second to none, and when Wordpress 3.0 rolls out, it’ll bury the competition hands down.

Wordpress is getting better and better at performing like a CMS. For most simple websites, I would now choose Wordpress over Drupal, not just for blogs because of the ease of use for the admin. For very large websites it still probably is better to use Drupal but I wouldn’t be shocked if the distance is closed more over the next 2 years.

I personally love wordpress. When I was first learning to build a blog/CMS site I had both Wordpress and Drupal installed on my server and tried to theme them both. Wordpress was a lot easier for me to understand, and overall the support files for wordpress were a lot more user friendly. Drupal help seemed like it was for hardcore techies and I’m just a medium-core techie

That said, I don’t generally make websites with complex backend functionality, so I’m biased. For what I do, wordpress is awesome.

I evolved from blogger to wordpress and now I’m happy with Drupal . Drupal is highly more customisable and I love it (now I’m waiting for module updates to go to drupal 6)

How does Drupal compare to using something like MS Expression Web or Visual Web Developer Express Edition?

Hey Shey,

I have never heard of typo3 so cannot really comment. Seems like what you need is Drupal, especially if you are looking to build a large site, with good user registration options.

WP definitely wins for blogs and smaller simple sites.

I’m looking into Typo3 to manage larger sites and sites with user registration systems. Any thoughts?
