Replace whypark with wordpress or joomla

[avi2l]

Well, as the title suggests, I am gonna start phasing out my whypark sites. Starting with the better performers.

My question is basically this. I have seen many nice simple sites out of wordpress and it looks to be something that is easier to use than say Joomla. However, I am familiar with joomla and can get around with it. So is Wordpress worth learning if you are already familiar with a CMS like joomla. Will it save me a significant amount of time with wordpress. Are the Wordpress sites less stress and memory on a shared host with multiple accounts?

Thanks

I would surely choose Wordpress

Lots of themes, plugin, support forum, blog & ping built in, SE friendly!

joomla has probably the same amount of templates, a great community, LOTS of SEO mods but it's always good to be familiar with more than just 1 cms
I use both joomla and wordpress, but it depends on the site what I am using.

Use joomla if you want to make a site with many functions and an easily configurable admin panel. Yes I know there are probably tons of wordpress plugins but joomla comes with polls, news, etc all in one package.

It's way easier to integrate plugins into joomla than into wordpress ..
Joomla -> Modules -> Upload & Ready

It's a tough job to integrate gallery2 into wordpress but its no problem with joomla! That's why I say it all depends on your site and what you plan to do with it.

Google for:
joomla social bookmarks
joomla sh404 (SEO MOD - must have)
joomla tag cloud

and your joomla is web 2.0 ready

joomla is more fancy but wordpress is faster to build into a simple website

What do you plan to do for content? I thought that was the main appeal of whypark. I think the idea is intriguing, but with a lot of names filling the sites sounds like a big job.

Thanks

I think that your gonna have to add your own content for the site to gain traffic. The automated content does make it easier to start the site and have it look presentable for the visitor. Some of the articles from WP have been indexed and have gotten high ranking in some google searches.

As for my plans, once you add enough of your own custom content to a site, I figure it would make sense to move it to a wordpress/joomla site where you can expand your options. I've found that whypark is a great way to start exposing your site to the Search engines while you figure out to better develop it.

I think if you have more than 50 domains that you would like to develop, then Whypark is your ticket. Cause you know you'll never get around to developing them all, but if you can spend some good time setting up all your domains on whypark and continually update and add content here and there, then you can slowly develop them while you work on your full sites one at a time.
