\"more-than-he-can-chew\"Well, technically it is for this new blog, but I have other blogs and have written many posts.<\/p>\n

But I am glad to have made the switch to WordPress.\u00a0 I bit off more than I could chew<\/strong> with my previous site.<\/p>\n

I wanted to have tons of functionality, forums, plugins, components, automation.\u00a0 You name it, I wanted it<\/span> for my site.\u00a0 So I settled on Joomla, the massive content management system that offers everything you could want in a site (including a HUGE learning curve).\u00a0 Unfortunately, with all those bells and whistles you need LOTS of administrative focus and time to make it work.<\/p>\n

Over the space of a year, I built several sites with Joomla.\u00a0 And the work ballooned.\u00a0 And the sites grew.\u00a0 Don’t get me wrong, they were terrific sites, but I was wondering whether I needed to hire an IT staff to keep up with it.<\/p>\n

So I bit the bullet and switched to WordPress.\u00a0 Does it have all the massive functionality of Joomla, not really.\u00a0 Did I need all the massive functionality, no, not at all.\u00a0 Actually WordPress gives me all I need and then some.\u00a0 Joomla gave me all I needed and WAY more.\u00a0 I just need what WordPress gives me.<\/p>\n

That’s a life lesson I continuously need to follow – start with what you need, add from there.<\/p>\n
