Website or CMS? WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal?
In addition to my own blogs and websites, I host and maintain a few websites for friends, family, or organizations that I belong to. I’m thinking about switching some of those websites from conventional hand-coded sites to CMS.
I’ve played with test installations of both Joomla and Drupal on my own server. I found Joomla slightly easier to wrap my mind around. Joomla has a wider variety of free and paid themes available; Drupal is more secure. The sites I want to switch are quite simple so both Joomla and Drupal seem like overkill. They may be a good choice for the sites that belong to organizations since it would be easy to integrate a members-only area, discussion forum, or other interactive features down the road.
My first self-hosted blog used Movable Type and of course you know my current blog uses WordPress. In the past, I never really considered using blogging software as a base for a website, but some of the WordPress frameworks have made me think I should reconsider. Tonight I took a little time to read up on StudioPress’s Genesis theme framework and Crowd Favorite’s Carrington framework. My brain hurts. I’ll let you soon know what I end up doing!

the petties 2010: DogTime’s Pet Blog Awards
I’m not sure whether Rottweilers Ate My Laptop is even eligible, since content here often wanders away from dog, cat, and other pet topics. I would still love and appreciate a petties blog award nomination.
Seriously, though? So many great pet blogs out there to nominate. And you wouldn’t have to question their eligibility. Scroll down a bit, or hit a recent Saturday on the calendar to the right, and you will find a whole bunch of links to pet blogs that definitely deserve nominations.
If you think so, too, head over to DogTime’s site and nominate your favorite pet blog:
the petties 2010 | DogTime – DogTime’s Pet Blog Awards
Nominations close on Friday, July 30 and voting for the finalists will begin on August 2.
