Question about CMS

I have absolutely no experience with CMS and blogs. I am starting yet another website, and I am considering using Joomla.

My new website is going to be about global warming and the environment. It will have articles, polls, updated new once in a while, and links to other sources, etc. I was thinking about Joomla for this. Is that a good idea?

Joomla is a good CMS. It is pretty stable and flexible. Personally, I have been a little happier with Drupal but a lot of that is because I find it a little easier to "style" to a greater degree. I also found Drupal's code to be a little more accessible so that if I wanted to make a change, it was a little easier.

That's my

Drupal is pretty easy, and Joomla I find equally easy to edit. Drupal is a little more user friendly though in my opinion.

PHP-Nuke is also a good solution, but the code is very 'heavy' and could be hard to edit for newbies.

I've recently decided to stick to TextPattern for anything as simple as what you're looking to do. Drupal is probably the one of the best CMS's for anything really complex.

I decided to go with Joomla. I am finding it very hard to learn, but I have a feeling once I get the hang of it, it will be very easy to manage the site. I put the site up at www.missionenvironment.com and will be posting a review thread soon, so stay tuned. Thanks again guys.

Joomla is nice for PHP. Also if you like Perl there is WebAPP (Web Automated Perl Portal) at web-app.org . Great support and great system.
