Why Wordpress?
January 10th, 2010 | by admin |Why have I chosen Wordpress as the CMS for http://inode.co.nz/?
Normally, I wouldn’t choose to rely on anything written in PHP … but more than that, I wanted something that was supported from the Debian repository. And while the significantly more interesting Plone is in there as well, the development environment they prefer doesn’t like being wedged into The Debian Way — I couldn’t install simple themes, and the recommendation was “ignore the packaged version, install from source”. Sorry, that violates the Inode philosophy of system administration.
So, Wordpress is enough of a CMS to be used as a manager for a simple website, which this is. It’s provided in a workable form from the Debian repository, so it will be security tracked and updated. And addons (such as themes) work the way they are supposed to, easily.
