[Cialug] SOT: What is everyone's favorite FOSS CMS these days?

[Josh More]

Joomla is great if you want a CMS with a poor security history and a lot of barriers getting in the way of what you want to do.

I prefer Wordpress, as it's simple and, if you choose modules carefully, reasonably secure.

If you want something that's highly flexible, Drupal is the best choice.

My cousin swears by Joomla. You can view his site/blog at www.tomtcscomputers.com
. Stupidly simple to update once everything is in place and apparently
some features are easier to implement over word press (according to
him).
