Have a Drupal "site" - now is D7 a better "blog" than WP?

Posted by AngelicLight on December 4, 2012 at 9:55pm

Hi, there,

I've got a D7 site up and running perfectly.

I'm an author and speaker and, well, other authors and speakers love WP because of it's many modules related to blog support, etc.

Is there anyone familiar with running Drupal as their own personal blog platform, and if I were to become a well-known blogger, too, does this seem to have any limitations over the "blog-centric" focus of a WP site?

Any info is welcome, and thanks a lot,

- Paul

it depends on how the term better is defined as to how it can be qualified.

One can build a blog with drupal and have it contain features ala wordpress. They key word in that sentence is build.

My suggestion is to install both and use the tool you feel is the tool that suits you best.

Good suggestion. With Drupal,

Good suggestion. With Drupal, you will get more flexibility and potential functionality with wordpress, at the cost of a more difficult system to build (higher learning curve). WP is nice and simple, and if you don't need the extra flexibility Drupal provides, you will probably find it much easier to deal with.
