Blog Switchero

Filed under: Blogging — kees @ 11:02 pm

Well, the rewrite rules for drupal started pissing me off, so I’ve switched again! This time, I’m back to WordPress. I must have been crazy when I first looked at it. The SSL trouble I was having was my own fault (which, I’m sure is true of Drupal’s rewrite rules too). The reason I’m really switching, though, is that WordPress, I think, has a much cleaner interface to the editing and template editing. I need to find a better skin for it, but for now, the default will do just nicely.

Well, after messing around with WordPress for a little while, I switched to Drupal. WordPress is pretty cool, and all I really wanted was a nice Blog system. Drupal is a bit of overkill for that, but it seems more mature. WordPress really didn’t like being put onto an HTTPS server, so that made it a pretty poor choice for me.

Before getting a huge list of Blogs from the folks on the inkscape channel (thanks guys!) I had briefly tried Simple Blog System, and ran screaming from it. There were at least 3 types of security holes in it. I only noticed because I saw one within the first 10 lines of index.php. I’m not sure how far I trust Drupal, but at least it correctly deals with PHP magicquotes.

Check out Open Source CMS for a list of all the various CMS software out there. Kinda handy if you have an entire day to blow looking through all the stuff.
