Re: RapidWeaver
WordPress is much simpler to use than Drupal, and there are many who have used it as a CMS to build commercial websites. Of course it's not as all-encompassing nor as hard to learn as Drupal, but you can put up a website in minutes.

Re: RapidWeaver
Drupal has gotten easy to learn. There is also very good training available at Lullabot (http://www.lullabot.com/). Drupal is easy to install and maintain. Knowing PHP isn't required but is a major plus (for WordPress too). Lullabot is all about learning Drupal. WordPress can't compare to Drupal. I'm not bashing WordPress. I use it. I use Drupal too. But comparing WordPress to Drupal is like comparing c++ to html. MTV, HBO. Amnesty International, Goldman Sacs run on Drupal. Actually, there's a mod for Drupal that runs WordPress, in Drupal. :) All this said, if all you want is a quick site then Drupal is way over kill. Use WordPress. It's very good for what it does. Also take a look at Squarespace at squarespace.com. Squarespace allows anyone to create a website. It's that simple (It has one of the best CSS implementations I've ever seen). You can literately build your site (design, color - even fonts) all online. With WordPress, you either use a template or roll up your sleeves and modify the template (not that hard - but if you don't want to write any code, there you are). I can't say enough good things about Squarespace. And no, I don't work for them. But I turned my mother's church onto them.

Re: RapidWeaver
Ditto again. I currently have four Drupal-based sites and will be starting to move copies of them onto On-Rev when I have time, and seeing how Drupal and On-Rev get on with each other...

I have used Joomla for many years now, and its really polished and there are huge numbers of add-ons and extensions out there for it. That being said, Ive also used Wordpress for several years and it's a lot more than just a simple blogging tool. Add-ons and very polished templates make it especially good if you have a single focus to your site - that could be a blog, but it could also be a general news site, or even a one product only site.

RapidWeaver
This is slightly off topic, but as there's been a lot of posts about On-Rev I thought that I'd let all you Mac users know that there's a sale on RapidWeaver at Smith Micro (I have no connection with either business). This web site creation software normally sells for $79.99 US, but you can get it for $29.99 at the moment. While the posted price is 79.99, once you click the Buy Now button and go to your shopping cart it's listed with the $50 discount (as of me checking just a few minutes ago). RapidWeaver is a template based tool, so is great for non-designers, though it's Mac only http://my.smithmicro.com/mac/rapidweaver/index.html For what it's worth, Marty Knapp ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
