A comparison of the two CMSs.
I have build two websites with CMS package. One is Mambo, the other is Wordpress. They all are good systems but with different features.
1: Wordpress can only be used on blog website. Mambo can be used on some other website.
2: It is very easy to install Wordpress. It only took me 5 minutes to install on the server without any problems. But Mambo took me 30 minutes or longer.
3: Wordpress has Chinese package and support Chinese very well. It is a little bit painful to use Mambor to build Chinese website, but works!
4: It is quit easy to change template in Wordpress system. You only need to unzip the template files and move them into the specified directory. Changing template in Mambo is a little bit complicated and difficult, you have to upload files from the backend and you will encounter problems most time.
Conclusion, if you only want to build a personal blog, I strongly recommend using Wordpress.

Tigho, I like Wordpress also. One of my blogs http://Trickyvikkiblog.favorite01estore.com is a Wordpress Blog. Have you ever tried Blogger? They are easy to set up also.

I use wordpress for non-blog websites. A CMS (content management system) is a CMS, all you need to do is create a theme and customize the hierarchy of categories to handle your information however you want it presented. Whether that’s a blog, shopping cart, webzine, etc is all up to you.
