Drupal’s more difficult to set up but I love it because of how flexible it is. I used the Wordpress Import module to import my blog when I switched; http://drupal.org/project/wordpress_import.

I have been working with drupal for the last two weeks, and hava to say that it is pretty easy to customize. But for blogs the best is absolutely WP!

A module that helps move around the admin settings is admin_menu. Very useful, or you could make a custom admin_menu with nice_menus.

I would suggest looking to see if there are other features that you will be needing to justify a move to Drupal. I have built dozens of Drupal websites, and use nothing else for CMS work. My choice is clear because of the awesomeness of Drupal and the time I have put into learning how to make it do tricks. If you want to learn a platform that you can use for everything, Drupal is a great way to go. If you want a blog that has a straightforward interface, stick with Wordpress.

I use both quite a bit, both great software. If you need just a single user blog site, wordpress is likely a better match.

IF you need the extra functionality and framework, then consider Drupal.

I’ve played a round with drupal a hell of a lot, and I’m impressed with it’s abilities. It’s very easy to customise and code behind for. However, it is by no means a WP substitute, WP is in a different league (and game to be fair).

WPs ease of use for developers is unmatched as far as blogs or CMSs go. Drupal is alrite for a CMS, but if you’re not gonna update it at least every week then I’d just write it out as flat HTML or layered PHP files. There’s no point filling your server up with a CMS and putting up with all the hassle if you’re not going to use it. Just grab a CSS template from somewhere and code it to your hearts content.

Leave drupal out mate, just use [INSERT NOTEPAD CLONE HERE] on a nice template and go crazy

Oh, and the Drupal site I mentioned there is really simple, but I use it on some more complex ones as well, but they aren’t personal sites so I didn’t want to post the url(s). Email/PM me and I’ll send you a link or two.

I use Drupal on several sites, like matthewhelmke.com, and I use WP on a couple sites, like matthewhelmke.net. If all you are planning to do is blog, I recommend WP. If you have a site with more customization needs, you can’t do much better than Drupal, but it comes with complexity and a need to do some reading.

Hi Joe! I started using Drupal in January. At first I found it really difficult to configure and to understand but after a while it gets quite easy and you can do whatever you want within minutes.

I simply love Drupal!

A good place to start are the Learn By The Drop Videos, e.g.: http://learnbythedrop.com/gettingstarted

Although I am a true fan of Drupal and wouldn’t want to use anything else, if it’s just meant to be used as a personal blog: stick to WP. It’s faster, easier and more straight forward as a blog tool.

Also, when switching to Drupal, I wouldn’t recommend to use the Blog module for your blog. The Blog module is designed for multiple blog and if you have only one you can simply use the story content type.
