Grandioso Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I'm planning to start my own, very simple blog. I already have the design and now I'm trying to figure out which CMS to choose. A friend of mine kinda introduced me to Joomla and WP and said Drupal was way harder to learn than these 2. I think any other CMS (except writing my own) is outta question, cause I'd like to use one with a big community support. So what I need is : -easily change the look to the one I created -tag cloud (different font size depending on tag usage) -search in post titles and text (comments would be nice but that's not important) -use jQuery as default JS library -integrate with facebook - share button and commenting through FB accounts -RSS feed -some other features like polls, or marking a post as "new" for a given time period would be nice, but I don't really need them And one more question about the "like" feature : do I have to create a FB page for my blog to enable users to like my posts ? Or can it just simply be like "XX likes YY on myBlog" with myBlog being a link to my blog ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arty Ziff Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I second WordPress. It's mature code, has a good rep, the admin UI is great, and of course endless plug-ins/mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandioso Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Should I create all the effects and stuff with jQuery before or after turning my HTML into a WP skin ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
