I've found that Wordpress is a pretty good base for most websites. Yeah, it's not as powerful as a full framework, since you're not writing it from the ground up - but it's a pretty damned effective content management system as well as a blog, once you understand what you can do in relation to categories and tags etc. I've used it for that in the past, and I've wished on other projects where I built a bespoke system that I _had_ used Wordpress after all.<br>
<br>A full framework will definitely be something to learn for the future, but for just a "website" then probably over-the-top.<br><br>Steve<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 2 February 2010 11:50, Mo Awkati <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mawkati@yahoo.co.uk">mawkati@yahoo.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

However, my Vicar ( I do our church website) quite likes the idea of a blog, that is what prompted my question; certainly will use WordPress for the blog. <br>
