Wordpress vs XenPorta for news blogging

[kenng]

How does it compare when it comes to blog news on frontpage? I've seen 8wayrun frontpage and it's done nicely there.

I am still deciding to use XenPorta as frontpage or wordpress? Any suggestion would be great!

Definitely WP here. Think about it this way... which one is more likely to be supported tomorrow? We went the route of using a custom-made news-/blogging system in the past, and it's not fun dealing with - once it's abandoned or not maintained any longer the way you expect it to be.

We had issues with WP breaking stuff when they upgraded. Granted, that was more the fault of the bridge, but it happened. With XenPorta you'd lose promoted threads and some other stuff but it wouldn't be life-threatening.

If you like WP and it works, though, more power to ya!
