Exact same thing here. Once, I bought two domains, one linked to a wordpress blog and the other to a Joomla established site. The 2nd one was a pain and didn't last long. :P

Well if you are using Wordpress...Don't go near Joomla :P Its totaly confusing.

I tried it, and then uninstalled it. I was looking for an optional way to build sites. For me, it was easier to simply build a site from scratch than to figure it out that control panel. Very comfy doing my own CMS stuff because good with DB's. I'm a big fan of WP for building a site or blog on the fly.

It is extremely customizable, it is definitely worth a try.

Used it, loved it, hated it

You can do amazing things in Joomla but it definitly has a steep learning curve compared with Wordpress.

It can be very confusing at first.

I've pretty much tried all the major CMS systems - wordpress is the easiest my favourite at the moment is Expression Engine - which is somewhere between the two (Wordpress and Joomla)

Ape

As Homer Simpson would say. "Joomla, is there anything it can't do."

Yes multiple editor accounts with defined roles - big ommision.

Used it in the past and it's quite frankly amazing, may be not easy for the first hand user but you learn quickly & easily!

No experience with it. I've always stuck with WordPress.

I've used it once but I prefer wordpress
