Maybe by name with some comparison as to how they work. Everything that was mentioned is important in choosing one, but getting the proper help when you are unfamiliar is very important too. Some help links would be an addition to the article. I have to think that wordpress is much easier to use. Would have liked to have seen something about the various types of CMS available.

I just find it slightly complicated and a lot of work especially when making small changes etc, If it was me, I would stick to wordpress. If and when I become more knowledgeable on web design, I would then make an html and flash website using Dream weaver or something like that.

Editing with joomla can be very slow and work that I can complete in a very short time with my own design takes a long time to complete on Joomla. I am looking at trying other content management systems. You mentioned in the article that phpnuke does have nice themes so I might try that next.

If I could code, I'd fix those problems.

If putting things in the CMS is too difficult, people will just email documents to each other. I used to work for a company that had that problem after they spent thousands of dollars on a CMS. If most of your stuff is just documents, WordPress is really user-friendly and you can be up and running on it in no time. I know several people who are running Drupal and seem to be doing ok, but I hear there is some learning curve.

I started my CMS journey from Wordpress> Drupal > Joomla/Mambo. I find Wordpress to be the simplest CMS of all. Its easy, can be heavily modded, and its admin is very simple. Joomla on the other hand is a very advanced CMS, used when developing professional websites designed for serious business purposes. The Admin for joomla is terribly confusing for a new user, but is very feature rich. The amount of templates and mods available for joomla is enormous too. It all depends on what you want. Both of them are good at their own place. Well written indeed. I started my CMS journey from Wordpress> Drupal > Joomla/Mambo. I find Wordpress to be the simplest CMS of all.
