So after many, many years (5 at least!) my blog is moving away from Expression Engine to Drupal. There are a number of reasons for this but briefly they are: 1. The Book content type. I am a writer and I am thinking my next book will be authored between a bunch of us online. Drupal offers the ability to do that and export the resulting content as DocBook. I had a look to see if EE could do this but I don’t have the time to develop something. 2. My preference is generally open source software - I sit on the executive council of Linux Australia - and I don’t see EE as truly FOSS. Drupal makes me feel intellectually more comfortable. 3. The ease of theme application - I don’t have to design or tweak HTML/CSS anymore. (well only a little) Now I get the annoying feeling though that I will end up tweaking PHP in a few places but shrugs it’s all good learning. :)
