Yeah, I believe I am converting....
Always been a joomla fan but we are just finishing up a wordpress site for a client,
www.SEOLatestNews.com and I have to say, its so ridiculously easy to use and set up pages and posts.
Add to that the great in-built promotional tools and it does make a lot of sense.
Its certainly about 4 times less of a learning curve than joomla/drupal.
