Drupal vs. WordPress

http://live.pirillo.com/ – Everyone has a blog, but Perseco asks which platform is better: Drupal or WordPress?

Some people think WordPress is good enough, while other people swear by Drupal. If you want one blog with one user, WordPress is good enough, but if you want to run multiple blogs with multiple users, Drupal is the way to go.

Drupal offers a variety of options, but has a steep learning curve:

Drupal is a free software package that allows an individual or a community of users to easily publish, manage and organize a wide variety of content on a website. Tens of thousands of people and organizations have used Drupal to power scores of different web sites, including:

  • Community web portals
  • Discussion sites
  • Corporate web sites
  • Intranet applications
  • Personal web sites or blogs
  • Aficionado sites
  • E-commerce applications
  • Resource directories
  • Social Networking sites

Wordpress also offers a large list of features:

WordPress is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. What a mouthful. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.

More simply, WordPress is what you use when you want to work with your blogging software, not fight it.

Interesting. I’ve learned something new. I’ll have to install Drupal tonight and check it out. I’ve recently come across a need for multiple users.

I found this link below your recent OSX article. I’ve had my eye on Geeklog recently but Drupal may fit my needs better. Good timing. Thanks, man.

As far as graphic design, It would be nice to have the flexibilty to use flash, ajax, css and javascript freely to customize the templates and enrich the user experience but I have not been able to find if either WordPress or Drupal limits this. Can you help?
