WordPress is a PHP blogging system. Has a template system for site design. It's well used and respected. And there are many plug-ins. It's open source.
Drupal is a PHP framework. You can create any kind of website with it really. It's referred to as a 'CMS' framework because of huge 3rd party plug-in support. Drupal is used as a backend to everything from blogs to corporate websites. Drupal is also open source. If you needed to create a non-blog site then take a look at Drupal. Keep in mind there are many web frameworks: like ruby on rails. Django (python), Seaside (Smalltalk), Zope (python), CAKE (PHP)- and many more. You can probably find a web framework written in whatever language you want. And soon, Transcript will probably be added to the list. ;) On 4/19/09 12:00 AM, "Colin Holgate" <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Apr 18, 2009, at 11:50 PM, Chipp Walters wrote: > >> >> I might suggest people interested in creating their own websites, >> check out >> WordPress.
