You might notice that this blog is based on Drupal. Most blogs are Wordpress or Blogger based but I like to be different....

I like Drupal because it offers more features than Wordpress such as a fully functional forum and the ability to add a lot more 'website' type pages and features. Yes, there aren't as many add ons, themes can be problematic and it is a bit cumbersome to administer but overall I like it better. Once you figure Drupal out, you realize that it has a lot of really neat things about it.

I do like to include a forum in my blogs. I post original stuff in the blog and copied stories with credits of course in the forum - users can discuss in both areas.

You do have to be careful with themes since many (like this) don't offer much variability. On the other hand, some themes are really quite flexible like the one I use at one of my other .
