The Joomla CMS system is meant for easy maintenance of content in a website while making the website work at a fast speed. The best way to run a blog is to use Joomla along with a Word Press installation using the same database. The installation size offered by Joomla is 30 MB and the site and the template works out to about 100 MB. The format is easy for all types of users like administrators, designers and developers. The support system for creating websites comes from the community system which is based on huge amount of resources. Joomla is a rapid growing system and has been constantly making improvisations for the last three years.

WordPress is the best for creating blogs and many people are aware about Google’s affection towards blogs. The latest template of Word Press offers multiple layouts and menus just like Joomla where anyone can make a website with a main page and many more pages. But unlike Joomla, web developers find it hard to handle Word Press because the upgrades can bring forth several incompatibility issues with plug-ins other than fixes. The upgrades are known to bring in more bugs as well. But Word Press can be easily handled by technologically challenged people and by people who are new to the website because there are not many modifications required. And the Word Press community is not rich in resources like the Joomla community and is known to complain about almost everything. However, Word Press is still the best choice for blogging and sharing all your experiences in a sequential format.

Joomla, in spite of being user friendly towards developers and designers is hard to handle for the novice user. It’s also not the best CMS system for blogging and other such activities. It’s not known to gel with Linux server which is not enabled with SuPHP.

Word Press is very easy to use for beginners and average computer users but it’s not so friendly towards web designers and developers.

So at the end it can be said that the choice of a user depends on his or her requirements, but the best thing would be to use them together for the best rankings on Google and other such websites and also for extracting the maximum returns on the investments made by the user.
