But having said that, I definitely don't think you're asking for too much. I would have been sick of this a long time ago. I doubt that I’d ever find any of your blogs simple or basic, Clancy.

]]> Comment on Database usage: Drupal or WordPress? by jula http://culturecat.wordpress.com/2007/05/28/database-usage-drupal-or-wordpress/#comment-5 jula Tue, 29 May 2007 10:57:33 +0000 http://culturecat.wordpress.com/2007/05/28/database-usage-drupal-or-wordpress/#comment-5 Hi, just my two bits. I'm a teacher very familiar with WordPress - for personal blogging off and on for several years and for school blogging one school year. I am in the process of setting up a Drupal intradepartmental site that will also be my high school English classroom site. One thing for sure, TypePad is very, very limiting. Movable Type and WordPress are fifty fifty. MT is much better for setting up multiple blogs, although I can't say I'd try it with a large number. I'm hoping I don't have your Drupal problems at A Small Orange because I didn't feel WordPress met the needs of my classroom blogging when I tried it. Bonne chance!

I'd rather have my own server space so to speak, but I've kept with Typepad for my blog and my teaching blogs because I'm lazy. My Moodle work is on Bluehost, and al though I pay a yearly fee, I don't mind. I like the service because it makes uploading, downloading and web page development far easier than I could have done on my own through other venues. I also like owning the whole project-- since my Moodle site is the online textbook -to- be, I don't want the college to have any reason to claim any rights to it. Your blog may have only 400 visits each year, but the work that you've done and posted here is too important for you to have to deal with server woes or worrying if an upgrade isn't going to jettison things.

On the other hand, I don't use the free service, but rather download the install. Why not do that? It offers much more than the service, including flexibility. And it does take five minutes to do. As long as you can make a database with your host...and if not, time to get a new host. hmmmmm
