[Linux4christians] Which cms?

[Chuck Vohs]

We use drupal hard.
http://carlisleupward.org
http://carlislegrace.org

And it works very well for us.

That said, I too am in the process of a complete re-write, and am moving to 
WordPress.

It turns out we don't use the community-geared features of drupal.  So a lot of 
it goes to waste.

WordPress has been very easy for me to customize.  I've done several sites with 
it now, and it can be turned into a CMS easily.  Nice thing about it, you can 
update it automatically.  This has been a HUGE issue (notice the CAPS) for the 
drupal sites.  We did some pretty cool customization, then drupal was upgraded 
because of security concerns.  If we apply the upgrade, our site breaks.  SO I 
have to dig into the security concerns and manually patch the one site.  It is 
too cumbersome to maintain.

Best of luck to you.
