I’ve used Drupal in the past for a few websites I’ve made and this blog was actually my first attempt at using Wordpress. If you would like to take a crack at Drupal without actually installing it, you can go to the OpenSourceCMS.org website and there will be quite possibly every open source web publishing platform listed there for you to try before you install. The specific link for Drupal is here. There’s no one reason why I’m going to migrate this blog to Drupal, but a couple of them include the lack of easy customization beyond a blog (I want more more more) and the fact that when I change something in Drupal, it happens instantly. That is been bugging the crap out of me, when you edit the theme files it takes forever to update the cache, and the only way I’ve found after reading forums and the like is to change to a different theme and then change back. There are many other Wordpress vs. Drupal articles you can read here, here, here, here, and here. Make your own decision in the Wordpress vs. Drupal debate as pertains to your situation, but I’ve made mine.

Also, we have used WordPress successfully as a content management system for corporate web sites that do not have blogs. At the core of WordPress is a content management system.

Actually I have done two sites out of WordPress. Quite impressive but we all know that WordPress is intended for blogsite but not on www.apnyi.org, I tried to hack the codes in order for me to satisfy the needs of our client. The nice thing with WordPress is that there are lots of community support on this - in fact all of the required features of the this site are supported with plugins coming from different peoplle who are using WordPress (thanks to you guys!). But still, I'm looking for alternative CMS for WordPress, 'coz somehow I'm still craving for more features and the flexibilty of use. According to my research, most web programmers will choose Drupal as CMS application. I did download Drupal 5.0 Beta. It took me a lot of times to explore the application. It kinda hard at first but the moment you discover new things and it's great features, as a develooper I rather use this instead of WordPress even as a blog site CMS. The downside of this newest beta version? Modules for version 4.+ is not compatible for drupal 5.0 though I know the community for this version will grow soon. Thanks for this great post.
