Bye Bye Joomla!, Hello WordPress
Well, today is a big day for me. I finally moved this site from Joomla! to WordPress.
Joomla! is a full blown great Content Management System.
It is very strong at many points. It’s professional, has many many plug-ins, is fast, robust and secure.
You probably wonder why.
Well I Will tell you that in this blog.
So why did you go to WordPress you may ask.
Because I needed a blog tool, not a CMS.
Again, Joomla! is great, worked with it for many years (first mambo), hell I even sold a lot of components for it.
But, it is just to much for what I need.
I changed to wordpress because….
I want to blog from my phone, without buying a plug-in that doesn’t work for me (mail2joomla, I bought it by the way);
I want good SEF/SEO without installing a buggy (by the way great) plug-in called sh404sef;
I want to be able to blog from a tool like MS Live Writer or W-Bloggar, with all features;
I want to be able to auto upgrade without having to download and ftp upgrade files;
I want to be able to install plug-ins right from my site, without downloading zip files;
I want to be able to Tag;
I want to use good archiving;
Do I have to continue ?
Off course there are some problems when moving from Joomla! to another blog tool. I will tell you about that later.

About have your Joomla website from your Iphone you could use the Weever solution?

About SEF the standard SEF working great normally or the free JoomSEF is very stable too.
For updating in 5 sec just use Joomla admin tool comp http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-…
and for blogging you have so many addons like K2, Jseblod CCK, Bloggie, MyBlog etc etc or just standard Joomla blog mode..
God Luck!
