Joomla or Wordpress or?

Going to star a couple of blogs, Ive recently heard of Joomla but dont know much about it, now Im confused whats the best thing to go with. Im going to attempt to make my own template (Ive got some basic knowledge of html website design). Any advice?

 

For blogs i strongly recommend Wordpress, easy to use, very well optimized.
A lot of free templates. The admin panel is very easy to use.

 

Wordpress, hands down!!

Can you edit the free templates too, Ive seen some of the templates used on a number of sites which I dont think looks too good.

 

For blogging purposes choose Wordpress. For larger programs with more diversity choose Joomla.

 

I have used both of them but according to me I would prefer to use wordpress from both of them

 

Wordpress is better, because it is SEO Optimized, but Joomla is for "big" portals

 

For a blogging platform, go with wordpress. Joomla is too bloated to use for anything, much less a blog.

When you start installing add-ons, wordpress is a whole lot easier to deal with them joomla. I have had joomla add-ons crash my site, then its a pain to get them uninstalled. A couple of times I had to restore my database because the admin control panel was taken down by a modification.

With wordpress, you just delete the modification folder and its disabled.

The editor in wordpress is a lot easier to use the then editor in joomla.

The image uploader and resizing options are better in wordpress then joomla.

Wordpress has built in SEO options that joomla can not touch.

 

wordpress for simplicity but if you want to customize your website with many component and modul choose joomla

 

Thanks for all the advise - Ive gone for wordpress and have found it fairly easy to set up and get started.

 

wordpress is the best platform for building a blog

 

Can't beat Wordpress.

I do have to say, I've been researching Joomla and it has really shaped up in the past few years. Still, it's a very "heavy" program.
