Thanks Chell. There are a few things missing from the navigation menu, and maybe one day I’ll figure out how to do it – its possibly fixable with CSS.

Hi Rich! You’re right on both counts. A few more available types of plugins wouldn’t hurt WordPress any, and yes, it’s an excellent CMS. It only has to be strictly (or mostly) a blog if the site owner wants that. It’s nice that the WordPress code is so straightforward and lightweight. My personal blog is WP, and I’ve used it for a library site, a community (in the works- bbPress is nice for this). And with helpful, smart people like you writing plugins, even a WordPress shop is possible. People who aren’t too comfy around computers have an easier time navigating the WordPress dashboard than they do trying to figure out other CMS admin menus, so I like being able to recommend it.

byUsers looks phenomenal! What a surprise to think, at first, that you hadn’t found time to switch it to WordPress, then to scroll down and see that “powered by” line. Very polished.

First off – Hello. Nice site, good layout and great content. I stumbled upon your site whilst Googling “UK2 CPanel problems” I’ll maybe chip in on your UK2 section in a day or two with my own experiences if thisgs don’t improve very soon.

Meanwhile… I’ve just created my first WordPress Blog. My “Archive” Widget is the same as your “Recent Entries” (Month year). Any idea where I can get hold of the Widget that does just the year, as in your “Archives” menu?

The features where drupal outstrips WordPress for a CMS are perhaps in some of the modules/plugins available for the admin side of things.

WordPress, with a lot of plugins, is a good CMS these days.

But yes the application does make a difference. It was one reason why I didn’t choose WordPress initially, I thought it lacked features that drupal had. Turns out they weren’t so necessary, and I can live without them.
