    Just share my idea even though I am not Warioer'ers
    I think both slightly aim to different thing. WP surely aims to BLOG purpose meanwhile, Joomla aims to use for content management.

    Whichever you choose should depend on what kinds of website you are about to build.

    Cheers

    If you just want to build a site with a basic usability and average dynamic features, use Wordpress. It is not a CMS ( Content Management System ), it is a blogging platform.

    If you have bigger plans than that for your new site, use Joomla. I takes up where Wordpress leaves off and includes blogging if you need it.

    both CMS have there own weaknesses and strength if you want a blogging site probably you would rather choose wordpress for simplicity but if you want a robust and complex cms and wanted your site to expand in the near future probably you would rather choose joomla.

    For something simple choose WP, for more complex website projects go with Joomla.
    Anyway, there's always a way to migrate from one CMS to another. It is difficult but possible.

    Wordpress is realy good ( may be because iam good in it :) It is posible to do different types of sites on WP. From 5-pages sites to web shop and online news... In general, all depends on your knowledges.

    I hope your choice serves your needs. Remember , Wordpress is not a CMS, it is a blogging platform. If you need to upgrade to Joomla later, there are tools to do that also. If you should choose the other popular CMS, Drupal ( there are many CMS´s out there ) there may be a tool to convert to that one also, but I have not seen one yet.



    Good luck.
