From time to time I have clients who think WordPress is only for blogging, not for “regular” websites.  Yes, WordPress is great for creating a nice looking and easy to maintain blog.  However, WordPress is also a great CMS (Content Management System) that can be used to create a regular non-blog-looking website.  And, because WordPress is a CMS, the website can be updated easily by people who aren’t web developers.

Here are 30 websites that use WordPress as a CMS:

WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal?

From time to time, someone will ask me … Which is better: WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal?


The answer is… it depends.

  • What is the project? How simple or robust? What features?
  • Who is the developer? What are their skills?
  • Who will be the site administrator?  How friendly does the CMS editor need to be?

According to Bruce Byfield at linux.com:

Consistently, Drupal offered more fine-tuning and tools for managing multiple blogs, while WordPress, although less configurable than Drupal, proved easier to use and navigate.

Here are some resource summaries on this topic of comparing WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal. Voila!

I put this information together yesterday to share with my cousin — he works for a Community Sponsored Radio Station — and then decided to share here, as well.  Thanks, Norman, you inspired this post.
