Geographic Perspectives

This is my third try at working with a content management system. First, I tried Joomla but was disappointed to find that it lacked any real sense of community. Then I looked at WordPress but it was really focused on the blog. I've been pretty excited about Drupal. Compared to other CMS, it takes an extra step away from the content, providing a more abstract framework to design a site. You get schema-level control for users and modules. Modules can be blogs, static pages, discussion boards, rss feeds, etc., etc. Of course, that level of control means more design work up front before anything really happens - but it sure is easier than starting with UML and database schema!
