    I have just switched from my old Drupal based blog to WordPress. For keeping a simple blog Drupal turned out to be too complicated system.

    However, the thing that eventually made me ditch it was the need for frequent manual updates due to security issues. I cannot understand  why a web service won’t update itself whenever a new release/patch becomes available. In Drupal community they give you the answer that it is insecure. Then how Windows and Linux desktops do this? And if I type the commands required for updating the site instead of an automated script, how does that increase security? I don’t read the code. It does not seem a technical but a human issue.

    I decided to look around. After googling a bit, I learned that WordPress supports some kind of one-click update. That’s the attitude I am looking for, so I decided to give it a try. So far (2 hours after installation!) I’m very satisfied. With Drupal I had to spend so much time for non-productive work, and this site is all about hobby projects. Now, with WordPress, everything seems much more like it should be, and I can already feel that I can concentrate on the content from now on. Let’s see if that feeling lasts.

    Already looking forward to get posting all the almost-finished articles…
