Wordpress v.s. Joomla - Popularity Contest
I am researching Joomla for my other website that I am working on. And out of an itch, I thought I’d see which is more popular - WordPress of Joomla?
Right, I am using WordPress for this blog. It’s a great blog software. And for Joomla, it’s more towards portals and content management. Even so, there are people use WordPress for link directories, convert them into full-fledge content management, and more.
As for Joomla, there are people who use them as a blog platform, image gallery community, article directory, shopping cart and many more.
During my research on Joomla, I thought of Google Trends. I thought I’d see which which is more searched by Internet users.
In case you don’t know about this, Joomla is a spin-off from Mambo, another content management system.
OK, I can’t say much about the performance-wise. But I believe these two open source software has huge community behind them. When you are looking for supporting plug-ins, components, themes (template), you will find yourself with a wide range of options.
Community and support is what I look at when choosing for a solution for my website. With huge community, you know that you have options. Let say that your programmer screwed you, you know you can turn to other programmers for help. Unlike in-house built software, you almost can’t do that.
