Back to WordPress Again
My blog has moved back and forth several times between WordPress and Drupal. Now I am back on WordPress. I had tried to convert from WordPress last year because I was kind of upset with Drupal for removing blogapi from core when they went to Drupal 7 and the contrib module did not progress for a long time. I liked the authoring abilities of WordPress but there were some things like views that I used a little on my blog that I could not easily replicate in WordPress. After some more research and a new desire to actually use my blog some more I found that there are some free plugins that let me accomplish what I want.
I think this time I am going to stay on WordPress and look to use it on other smaller sites as well. It is more suited towards a small personal blog like mine. Drupal keeps getting more powerful and I am really not their target market.

Goodbye to Drupal
I converted my blog from Drupal back to WordPress several months ago and have not gone back so far. WordPress is much easier to deal with from a user perspective. Media Handling is so much easier than Drupal for something like my basic blog. I am now working on converting my Church Website and my one other site from Drupal to WordPress also. I have found there are several plugins for WordPress that give me the ability to setup my website similar to how I could with Drupal in the past. There are different ways to do things in WordPress but I am going to stay this time. Drupal keeps getting more complex and is getting beyond the reach of the casual user or hobbyist.
