Great response Niko. I agree 100% about the proper tool for the proper task. In my job I deal with people who want a site and aren’t sure what they want. For pure blogging nothing beats WordPress. But for a true CMS Drupal is at least in the top 3. Thanks for the list. Based on your recommendation I have started looking at views. That is quite a powerful module.

A good question, Knut!
Everything depends on the goal – wordpress is better suited for blogs, then Drupal,
where for any more or less serious site WordPress does not do the trick.
It means you should not use a hammer for railroad construction,
but will need it for nailing a picture to the wall (i dont want to imagine anyone using a 20-pound sledgehammer for the same purpose).

Isn’t it really stupid to write about drupal on a WordPress site?

I recently came across a nice Druplet Site that provides the ranking of drupal modules based on the number of views/downloads. It also has the search capability which is not bad.

Nice list. I’m going to have to check out how Page Title & Path Redirect can be used for seo. Categories are good. I’ve found ReCaptcha to be useful for cutting down the spam.

Ian, as a matter of a fact – CCK is surely one of the most powerful modules, that Drupal has.
But focusing on the function, which is a content in this case, for CCK is not essential. You can easily create a nice site without CCK, but if you want to customize it ultimately, you “can’t escape” without it.

Thanks for the list. I found a few new ones. Why not CCK? I think that’s the best and most powerful module.

Nice list! I’m going to try these out right now.

I especially like that update status module you’ve found, because I’m too lazy to search for updates to modules manually… Gracias.
