Hi Dave,

I have had to remove you links for some reason WP is mangling them and every time I edit them they just go back to nonsense.

Of course you could always take a look at Serendipity

Easy to install and customise, loads of themes and a great support - oh, and supports the Akismet key!

See what you think

How does Drupal compare to Thingamablog and Wordpress? I’m new to both WP and TAMB so I’m unsure if I’m comparing apples to oranges. Though, I am curious about the advantages and disadvantages of the differing content management systems.

Hi there Emily, great blog you have there.

I wrote this when I was trying to work out in my own mind which was best for me. As you see WordPress came out on top in the end.

Thingamablog is good and I do prefer the post editing interface, but it lacks the features that WordPress has for building an interactive site without the third party solutions.

I do have a WordPress.com blog - only so I could get my hands on the Akismet key though! Seems a waste of space on the server but…

There is a third option, which is using WordPress.com’s free hosted blogs. Then you never need to deal with upgrading, hosting, mysql, php, etc and you get all the benefits of WordPress as you described (minus the ability to extend it with plugins and choose from hundreds of themes - oh, and currently it can’t run adsense code either - so maybe this isn’t quite the right solution for you after all..)
