Hello all

Ok, so I want to have a go at blogging :-) I already use Joomla with templates from Rocket theme. They also offer great looking WP templates. but are Joomla and WP pretty much the same, both free, Open source. easy to use and adust?

Does anyone else use Joomla here for blogging or should I just take a look at WP?

Thanks
 
Use joomla for proper sites where you need alot of control. Use wordpress for quick and easy blogging

I'd recommend Wordpress for blogging.
 
Joomla handles user accounts better but takes ages to set up. With wp you can be up and running in about 5 mins.

Actually they are NOT pretty much the same. Don't over complicate things, for blogging go for wordpress, best there is.
 
I dont know about joomla but if you want good looking blog and easy work WP should be considered.
 
Out of touch with Joomla -> because WP covers all the bases to me

Its just great software, great ecosystem

Anyway for blogging, nothing comes close (except Jeckyll if you want a static blog)
 
If you need free hosting and you are new to blogging then you can try Blogger.com hosting or if you can afford Wordpress Hosting then Wordpress is at #1 for blogging.
 
Wordpress - it depends on how long you have investment
If this is the only blog so just Wordpress


If you have plans beyond then definitely joomla
 
WordPress without any second thoughts. My personal experience with joomla has not been good.
