Thanks for all the input. I think Gonzalo understood me best. I already have a really simple blog I can use with my clients but I want to learn about cakePHP so thought I could try doing the same thing using cakePHP. My concern was as to whether CakePHP is appropriate for such a simple project.
So, I suppose the question could be rephrased: "If WordPress and the other pre-built blogs didn't exist, would you use CakePHP to build your own VERY simple blog or would you just do it from scratch without the framework?"
