Joomla or WordPress?
If you work with both Joomla and WordPress then you know the thought process that occurs when you start a new project. Would WordPress or Joomla be the best platform to use to develop this site?
Before the recent movement to use WordPress as a CMS backed by the creation of Flutter and PodsCMS, there was a clear line. It made sense to use Joomla when creating a dynamic website backed by a large database of information. If you needed to create a blog, WordPress was the way to go.
I guess I’m a traditionalist because I tend to stick with this approach. WordPress works really well for personal blogs, corporate/small biz sites that want to include a blog (an essential these days). Joomla is my fave option for larger sites with lots of information like a directory of golf courses.
I did a bit of research the other day to see what other people are saying on the subject. Here’s a collection of some of the posts I found:

Hi TwoZen,
Thanks for the mention and good luck with your Internet Marketing. Do you follow Griz and the MMO scene? Possibly we can talk more about J and WP sites in the future, are you interested in taking on more Joomla customization work?

I always had a bad impression of WordPress, esp when perusing sites like digg.com which often would cause an unsuspecting wordpress blog to crash due to an overwhelming amount of traffic. Suppose it’s time for a second look! Thanks for the article

Its good to see you posting on this topic, I should bookmark this web site. Keep up the good work.
wordpress of course, but joomla is an excellent CMS as well but I think wordpress is more flexible over others and has a great community which is growing making it the best platform ever.
Merely want to say your article is awesome. The lucidity in your post is simply spectacular and i can assume you are an expert on this subject. Well with your permission allow me to grab your rss feed to keep up to date with future post. Thanks a million and please keep up the respectable work.
I appreciate you for maintaining such a useful site. this site is not only useful but also very artistic too. We come across a limited number of experts who are capable of create not so easy stuff that creatively. All of us keep looking for information with regard to something like this. I searched in dozens of websites to come across knowledge with respect to this.We look forward to much more !!
Thanks very much for sharing this interesting post. I am just starting up my own blog and this has given me inspiration to what I can achieve.
What about Blogger? I’m a huge fan of Blogger. I don’t care if there are not many plug-ins and templates for Blogger. I will still use it!

I’ve only used Blogger for a former client. I’ve never used it for a content management system. Can it be used that way? My understanding it is primarily a blogging platform.
Joomla everytime, its the best, like your blogg, some great info on here guys!!
Guys? Dude I’m a chick.
