Joomla 1.5 vs. Drupal 6

Right now there are two big CMS systems which have been recently released. As you may or may not know Drupal and Joomla are the two biggest open source CMS solutions. They both have big communites, and both have been used by companies and individuals to make big and important websites. But what the biggest thing that comes to mind is what is the difference between these CMS systems?

New Features for Joomla

The new Joomla 1.5 marks the first Joomla release which gets away from the mambo codebase. It has been completely rewritten from scratch.

So what do you do with drupal?

We'll as a consultant I build webpages mostly, but because it is drupal, this is not average brochure website stuff. I actively build modules, and improve existing modules as well. Currently I am a project maintainer on drupal.org for the quiz module, what this means is that I do some active development on the module, as well as check other people's code for submission to the module.

This is my first blog entry

This will be my first blog entry. In my blog I plan to talk about drupal, and technology. Drupal, for those of you who don't know is a Content Management System, or CMS. What this allows you to do is easily create automated websites which allow users to interact with one another, and for website owners, and users to post data without necessarily knowing html, php or any web language.
