What’s your CMS?
June 3rd, 2009 | by admin |I’ve been messing around with CMS software for more than 10 years now.
In the old days, I used to be a phpnuke hardcore user. In time, I was fed up with the large quantities of bugs and insecurity plaguing the nuke. SQL injections in some versions are trivial, and therefore busting a nuke’s database also is. Besides the nuke seemed to be stuck in the web 1.0. On the other hand, ironic as it is, there are security portals out there made in nuke 
So, I switched to Drupal. Never looked back. Drupal is a full featured CMS, stable and bug free, with enough security. It has only one rival up to the challenge of best CMS, Joomla. Depending on the site features and purposes, drupal can be better than joomla or vice-versa.
However, these are portal oriented CMS. They are excellent to build large quantities of pages by a community of users.
For personal use, such as a blog, WordPress is the way. It goes several steps beyond the community CMSs, by implementing a full scale Web 2.0 CMS. The tags, syndication, CSSs, SEO, social software integration, web standards, web APIs, accessibility and usability,etc…they are all there. At least, I know I’m happy with it.
