5 Reasons Why I Moved Back to Wordpress

// September 22nd, 2009 // Stuff

Ok… I’ve gone the Custom build route, the Wordpress route, the Drupal route, and now back to the Wordpress route.

Why did I end up sticking with Wordpress?

  1. MUCH better selection of themes – for those of you that remember what this site used to look like, I hope you agree
  2. When you install it, even after moving from testing to production server, it just works. No need to set up cron jobs and the like, no need to set up workflows. It’s good to go out of the box
  3. Unlike some of my PHP developer friends like Ashok Modi (@btmash) and Stephen Scholtz (@stephenscholtz) I am not in a position to leverage Drupal to its full potential and do all the fun things I intended to do with it
  4. There’s far less work to do to get SEO friendly URLs
  5. I don’t have as much time to post content and therefore rely on whatever support my iPhone offers and there’s just too many WordPress plugins that work seamlessly with the iPhone
