I moved from using Joomla / Wordpress to Drupal this year. Drupal has the features I need to run multiple websites, instead of managing multiple website installs, Drupal does it all.

However it has a long way to go in terms of usability so its not for everyone.

Yes Gavin, this is a public forum and generally, people post their opinions on them. Considering that I have received dozen of spam emails from this site trying to get me to sign up, is it not right that I can promote my sites as well as everyone else here. Or are you one of these forum bullies? I think I'll give you webmasers meet a miss.

Well, if its really needed, why not? But for me, you should choose a good platform from the very first you start blogging.

I may move from wp to movable type which is based on HTML static content publishing. There 2 very distinctive virtues of static content:

1) It's static so much harder to be manipulated unless there's a system level breach.
2) It costs much much much less server resources with regards to the same traffic.

Hi Immediate,

Very interested to read your thinking of moving from Wordpress to another platform. I’m currently playing around with WP on a site I haven’t finished yet and was finding it very cumbersome and slow to load the admin pages. Have you found their support forum very hard to negotiate?

What’s Movable type like?

Take care,
Andrew

PS sorry, I’ve gone off topic here
