I'm developing a site about product reviews and I would like to know if what I want to do is possible with drupal 6 before I start developing my site. It's pretty much a blog, so debating on Drupal 6 or Wordpress. Here's what I'm trying to do.

Top 10 Supplements which updates by rating system
Recently Reviewed

Rating System
By the customers review form, I would like to add a rating system which will have 3 categories. for example Price, and Build Quality, and Overall Rating. would it be possible to average out Price and Build Quality to make up the Overall Rating? It should be added to the review after completion of course.

This would be pretty straightforward to implement.
These would be the modules you'll need.

http://drupal.org/project/fivestar (for ratings, averages, et al)
http://drupal.org/project/views (For all the display components)

Views module let you create filters where you can display your products based on any criteria that you have for your products you can sort them and let the viewer change this sorting.

They are actually very powerful and you may not get its actual capacity until you test them, but it is definitely something that you will not be able to do with a regular blog application.

To display the 'Recently Reviewed' and the 'Top 10 Supplements

And maybe not in the description, but I would also assume that you will come up with more ways to present the products and the views system will give you this freedom.
- By reviewer
- By date
- By times reviewed
