    I just took a quick look at the site, but it looks like converting to Drupal would be very easy. I can't think of very many things you can do in Joomla that you can't do in Drupal. The trick will be figuring out what the equivalent modules are called.

    Just guessing by the names of what you've posted, you'll probably want the image, image assist, CCK, pathauto, and gsitemap modules.

    Not knowing how extensive your site is, I'd say it could be done in a day or two if you know Drupal and your articles are easy to copy and paste.

    *Edit; oops! I see that Xangis already mentioned the pathauto module..

    I have a post requesting bids on doing this in the buy sell section if anyone would like to give me a quote. I need this done ASAP.

    Thanks Xangis and Tearabite for your answers :)

    I'm curious, why the switch?

    I have a Drupal site and I'm happy with it but it seems very difficult to find support, install and coding services. I look in the local news paper and see people wanting Joomla experience but never Drupal. Joomla always seems to have mods that are complete before Drupal.

    Drupal has some great functionality when it comes to the actual code but Joomla seems like it's moving into main stream much faster.

    Hi.
    I like Joomla, but my site has been having so many issues. I have a few people that know Joomla well not be able to diagnose the problem.

    Istead of changing into Drupal tell me your problems due to Joomla and we figure out them if you want.
