    Hi, I have a question

    I'm thinking of making a review site which will have 20-60 products, a blog, and perhaps a very simple forum. Which CMS would be best in terms of price, some security, Learning curve, and SEO domination. Originally i was thinking of Using WordPress, which has some cool SEO and social bookmarking plug ins. But Joomla seems very appealing as well, i Just dont know whether it has the same cool features and plug ins as Wordpress. thanks:)

    I would take a look at both Joomla and Drupal. I'm not as familiar with Drupal and Joomla, but Joomla has a hellish number of both free and commercial modules that make it easy to build a killer site.

    I like articlesms for my rview sites, light weight, excellent adsense set up (and CTR ;) ).
    Then I would just install a free forum on a sub domain.

    You can do it with eSyndiCat which supports custom form.

    Thanks for the suggestions :) All are great, I'm going to do a test run on each and find out which is easiest for me to use.

    drupal can be very exhausting on the server, I have crashed many sites using drupal, like heavy traffic and even heavy add ons and mods can cause issues and dramas. need a dedicated server in no time when you get a little traffic and a fair bit of content.
