i have written this some 3 yrs back. http://www.balachandar.net/blog125-2006-04-22.html at present, u can do anything with both the tools but though there are some differences 1. wordpress can install / upgrade the module / plug-in automatically which drupal cannot. 2. 80% of content in wordpress is already in compliance with SEO. i.e permalinks, custom URL etc. drupal needs pathauto to achieve this. 3. drupal's block is kind of wordpress's widget. placement depends on the theme file. 4. wordpress can be upgraded automatically whereas drupal cannot. 5. wordpress is a blog publishing platform where drupal is a content management system which can be used for building sites like http://demo.ilugc.in 6. both the tools are effective with contributed modules. 7. both have developer documentation. but i felt that wordpress development is easier than drupal 8. powerful modules like views, panel, cck are there for drupal which makes it efficient. but wordpress doesnt have that. 9. code management with drupal is easy compared to wordpress. because all 3p / custom modules / themes are in different location. you will not touch the core files. drupal provides bug fix release every month i guess. may be some one can add more... or correct me if i am wrong. - balachandar muruganantham உலகம்.net - இலவச தமிழ் வலைப்பதிவுச் சேவை - http://ulagam.net எனது தமிழ் பக்கங்கள் - http://www.balachandar.net/pakkangal Beyond Work - http://beyondwork.wordpress.com/ "ஆக்கம் இழந்தேமென் றல்லாவார் ஊக்கம் ஒருவந்தங் கைத்துடை யார்.
