I gave Joomla a run, and found that it was too boxed up for my liking. I switched to Drupal last year and found that there weren’t as many useful plug-ins as I was hoping.
So here we are for year three trying to set up a proper site. Be patient as I get this thing kicked off. I know what I am looking for, and research tells me that WordPress is a likely candidate. If I like it, you can expect my postings here to be come regular (and hopefully more informative).
