The problem with wordpress is that its meant to be a blog with comments and a few attatched pages. Nothing more. I did a roll-out of Wordpress on the SmuG website last year, and have been having to heavily customize it every since (my own source modifications in addition to liberal plugin creation, installation, and editing).
Wordpress does NOT scale as the needs and content of your site grows.
In the case of the aforementioned SmuG website, I'm going to clean it out and install Drupal on it the next chance i get... which will probably not be for many months
but yeah, you get the idea. Unless you plan on keeping it only as a blog, donut uz wordprez

Well i originally had it as wordpress, remember the back and white blog with the big pull down menu at the top?
Joomla may have been more scalable but it was too heavy weight and I had problems simply maintaining the site. I want to move back to wordpress because its much simpler, and a lot faster.
Thus what can I do to improve the wordpress site?

if you do, you're trading a lot more effort later for a slightly easier setup now.
its important to invest some time in setting up-front to soemthing that lets you save a lot of time later. particularly since i have no doubts any new site you make will eventually grow to be some sprawling portal-esque monstrosity littered with the machinery of various random projects you're working on.

use whatever language you're comfortable with imho (many hosts only support PHP especially for the cheap plans), but use a scalable framework. Repeat: Wordpress does nto scale.
And based on my occasional lurking, the WP devs do intend to turn it into a full-blown robust CMS.
yes. a "robust" CMS on top of WP's core.
see what I mean now?
they're on crack.
Wordpress is for grannies and one-track journalists.

ralphie, I dont appreciate the troll, have you actually seen arghs site? Even argh admits its not the best site he could have made and he gave his reasons in his thread.
And Ive worked with wordpress before. I chose to go back to it because it was not a portalesque monstrosity and was simpler. Should I need a portal or a robust cms Ill go for something like drupal.
Joomla was just too heavyweight and too complex to modify, whereas I can make small minor improvents to my wordpress layout without needing to know the extensive internals of joomla.
