subject: Wordpress Vs Drupal, What Is The Best Blogging Platform ? [print this page] I've just finished my fourth site using Wordpress as a CMS, and more and more I wish I'd started sooner. Plus, the more you use it, the better you get. WordPress makes it awesomely easy to add tracking code to pages since every single page within WordPress is built dynamically and uses the header.php and footer.php file. So I add a profile to my account, get the code, and chuck it in footer.php . WordPress has a templating system, which includes widgets that can be rearranged without editing PHP or HTML code, as well as themes that can be installed and switched between. The PHP and HTML code in themes can also be edited for more advanced customizations.
Both Drupal and WordPress are open-source database-backed content management systems (CMSs) that can be used to deploy web sites and web applications. Some people feel very strongly that Drupal should be used for all web site projects, and others feel equally strongly that WordPress should be. It would take hours to create a web page that looked half as good as just about any WordPress page. With WordPress, plus some plugins, you can build almost any type of websites. To show you what I mean, I have collected 30 websites that use WordPress for different purposes" from general websites to portfolios, ecommerce and corporate sites .
Besides being the blogging platform of choice for the majority of bloggers, WordPress is becoming more and more popular amongst website designers and small business owners. In the last coupld of months, I noticed a growing demand for website redesigns using WordPress as CMS. The wordpress plugins are arranged broadly by category of usage. As far as I know, all these plugins are compatible with the latest WordPress 2.5 version. Free ebook reveals 10 steps to attracting local customers to your WordPress website using Google.

The real beauty of WordPress is the separation of content and style. The content of a WordPress blog is stored in a MySQL database and is combined with the visual presentation at page load. Our chosen solution was to convert the entire site's content from Drupal 6 to Wordpress 2.7. I took my first tentative steps from using Blogger to Wordpress (WP) as my blogging platform about 8 or 9 months ago. Initially my plans were to use WP solely for blogging.
