I read the Joomla! User manual this morning on the way to work.  Last
week when I started looking at WordPress, I was extremely impressed
with how easy it was to work with.  However, I never quite figured out
how to do the things I wanted it to do.  For intstance, WP2.1 now has
the concept of "pages", which are dynamically generated web-pages with
static, non-timely content.  IOW, they're different from a blog post
in that the date and time they were published is more or less
irrelevant (like an About or Contact page).  The major down-side I saw
was that these pages cannot be tagged or categorized in any way, which
is kind of annoying.

Joomla! seems to be far more than WordPress is.  It seems to have the
ease of use everyone loves about WordPress, but the sophistication one
in a business environment would appreciate/require.

I'll post my impressions after I install Joomla! tonight on the train
ride home :)

Very cool, I'll be sure to check that link out!  Thanks!
