    I guess Django is more CMS than blog, but I thought I would ask here. I'm thinking of learning it and wondering how it stacks up against Drupal and WordPress.

    TIA :)

    Looks interesting. Some of the example sites look pretty good, but I can do that on word press.

    Hi hmansfield, thank you for your reply. Django appeals to the programmer in me...it is used a lot by the newspaper industry and has a good rep. But, I think Wordpress has a lot that I don't know about and more flexibility than I'm aware of. I should probably just install both and go to town learning new things :)

    Yeah, I checked out that Toronto Magazine they have listed as an example and that looks real nice. Very clean, but the only thing that worries me about platforms that I don't know about is the support. Is the entire platform open source ? themes, Plug ins (if any), or are there some paid options ?

    Thanks, but I have to give credit to those that design the themes that I use. The rest is pretty much trial and error hacking and a lot of "Let's see if this works." :)

    Django is open source. It is a web application framework like Ruby on Rails as opposed to a content management system like WordPress and Textpattern. So you do need to know Python to get it going.

    Rails/Django...Drupal...Wordpress and Textpattern all take up additional resources. But, I guess it doesn't matter in today's world of cheap hardware and servers.
