After lots (and lots) of messing with different content management systems and blogs, I have decided to try wordpress as both a blog engine and simple cms.

I have a lot of people after a simple web presence, and most systems are either way too confusing for the client, or way too simplified to be able to do anything with.

Heres hoping that this works a little better than some of my previous attempts:

Joomla – update nightmare

Dotnetnuke – expensive for the hosting (cms is free but on windows) can be a little clunky for a small site, however I do use this daily in a corporate environment

Drupal – was way too complicated for my average client, lasted 5 minutes

hosted wordpress – great, but unable to host ads (a major requirement for some clients)

hosted blogspot/blogger – not bad, and fits the needs of some clients, the only issues are slight content ownership concerns, and limits of 10 pages.
