What is the most preferred side manager, I myself like joomla, because its got things that you need all sorts of pluggins on other ones build right in. I dont know much about xsite, and I know wordpress is junk. What are everyone elses thoughts?
Depending on what you need a site for, Wordpress certainly isn't junk. It can be really good as a blogging platform. I'm a fan of Textpattern, but it takes some getting used to. Expression Engine may also be worth looking into.
I'm fan of Drupal. But, for simpel websites I preffer own codes. Wordpress makes my old computer suffer
