Thoughts on Choosing a Content Management System

Before the release of Drupal 7 I was seriously considering a move to Wordpress. I installed a local copy and started poking around. I was really impressed with the CMS but was a bit overwhelmed with how much I was going to have to learn if I were to be a good Wordpress designer.

Within a few hours of playing around I had a really simple but very basic Wordpress theme up and running. But I knew that I was only beginning to harness all the features of the CMS. Then a question popped into my mind, should I give up on 2 years of Drupal experience and head down the road of mastering Wordpress?

I ultimately decided to stick with Drupal, mainly because of their latest release of D7. However, I wanted to share some advice for new web designers or anyone looking to learn a CMS. In the video I talk a bit about choosing a CMS and sticking with it, and why it is a good idea to do so.

Sorry for the low audio, this was recorded out doors on my iPhone.
