Using a blogging platform for a Web site?
Yes.
After first planning to use Drupal, we’ve decided that it is no longer the best option for TheMiamiHurricane.com‘s new content management system.
So, (drumroll), we’ve decided to go with WordPress.
Why? In short, it is the better overall, long-term option. More reasons/details to come in a future post.
I’d like to thank Sean Blanda from Temple University. Sean’s insights and advice — via his blog, a session at the CMA conference in NYC that our news editor and adviser attended and an e-mail response to visuals editor Will Wooten — helped us feel more confident in our final decision.
Some background: I started reading Sean’s blog during spring break, particularly intrigued with the posts about the Temple News‘ experience with WordPress. Ironically, a day or two after reading some old posts, Will e-mailed me and brought up the idea of using WP after doing his own separate research.
Besides Temple, the Sagebrush at University of Nevada Reno also uses WordPress.
