Thank you! Based on your feedback, it looks like it will be easier in the long run to change text in WP than in my dos text editor. My worry is that my css/xhtml will be a "theme" that will "break" when WP upgrades but not to worry... I'll worry about that when it happens! all the best, Val

Thank you so much kohoutek and bluedreamer ! so glad you took the time to reply - what an oasis of expertise this website is ! well pleased and thank you

What features are you looking for, exactly?

If you have lots of content that changes often and you want non-technical people to be able to create content/pages on your site the moving to a CMS is recommended. I'm not saying WP is what you need. There are lots of free CMS packages out there. I was looking at ModX for a bit then decided to setup a blog so I went w/ WP.

The custom field feature is one-of-a-kind splendid. All in all,...

I pretty much echo what kohoutek said. In my experience Joomla is very rigid and you have to work with what it gives you. On the other hand with EE you can tailor it to how you want it to work.

Just taken a look at the Shopp plugin for wordpress, seems very nice, anyone can tell me how it differs from WP Ecommerce? thanks

My first website was published using Article Manager as the CMS. At that time, AM was quite unique and full featured. Development there has stagnated and I'm not interested in using their product anymore. About a year ago I launched a site using Vivvo. It's a little buggy but overall a great CMS system. I have a a few sites that use Wordpress but I have to say I'm not a huge fan. I also have a sit that uses modx cms but the back...
