I love WordPress for its flexibility more than anything else! For the same reason, WordPress doesn’t cease to amaze you, every time you start tweaking it, it gets into another form, another use and serves another new purpose. And when it comes to Content Management Systems, WordPress is one of the best available blogging platform today that can be converted to a full fledged CMS.

    I agree that WordPress is hands down – the best blogging platform available and can be used for light CMS. However I think Drupal is also an excellent CMS platform and doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. I usually recommend WP for blogs / small business CMS and Drupal for enterprise level CMS.

    Isn’t WordPress more like a publication platform? I know, WordPress “used to be” a blog platform. I do also not believe in a website or a blog, but in the combination of both. But that’s just my opinion. I agree Drupal is a better solution for big companies.
