Ready for a change
After spending some time working with Drupal yesterday, I had a string of epiphanies. I now understand the power and simplicity of the platform; I will soon be dropping my Joomla! work. There are several reasons for the change:
- I’ve made too many excuses for Joomla!’s two-step categorization system. Nodes and taxonomies are more flexible (and have a nice ring to them).
- Joomla! has too many extension types and too many 3PD extensions are needed to run a real site. Most of the functionality I need should be in the core to begin with.
- I spend considerable time moderating my forum, so the next logical step is to go with an integrated comment system on all of my content. Drupal is far superior in this regard.
Finally, many of you are aware of my current license plate. Fortunately, the DMV also has my new favorite CMS available as well. It’s ordered and on the way:
Wait… what? Are you serious? I was actually just debating this (choosing Drupal v Joomla) on my blog: http://tinyurl.com/38rcxd
Joe, good one.
Zvi, I hate you.
Thanks!
Zvi, Keith: what day of the year is today?
Good one… I almost fell for it…. Keep up the good work!
The American vanity plate system is so much better than the British one. We are forced to have numbers in our registration numbers so DRUPAL would not be possible.
Oh you could do DRUP4L or something :D.
Oh, I see. The numbers have to go in a specific spot.
Another difference with the American system is that you can’t sell your plate to someone else for use: it’s the property of whatever state you’re registered in. When you’re done with the plate (when moving to another state or something), whoever registers it first gets it.
Oh, so it was an April Fools Joke. But do you really not prefer Drupal over Joomla! ? Or just the license plate was a joke?
It was a complete joke. Virgina has a website where you can design your own: https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/dmvnet/plate_purchase/select_plate.asp
