Speaking of very successful Content Management Systems (Wordpress), what has 
become of Joomla? http://www.joomla.org/

I ask because the second most popular question (first is blogging) is "How do I 
make a website easily"?

Wordpress actually works fine for a website -- note SFX uses it.  But there was 
considerable interest in Joomla as well, but I haven't heard much about it 
lately.
