I’ll have to admit to my preference for Joomla, although Drupal is growing on me more and more. They have an amazing user community, and there are places to get amazing themes.

I am thinking that this might be a good model for how we can do it with Drupal, but that’s a subject for another post. at 7:46 pm Like everything in Drupal land, there is code for that… though the quality varies widely. With joshk as the maintainer, the quality should be better than average.
