    Hi there, I’m deciding between using Drupal and WordPress for my web portal. I’m considering using WP now because Drupal has a really steep learning curve.

    So I have 2 questions:

    1. How many users does WP support if I install it on my server? I know that my WP blog hosted on wordpress.com allows me to invite up to 35 users.

    2. How difficult is it to convert my webportal from WP to Drupal if I wish to do so at a later date? I’m still thinking of using Drupal because it seems to allow for greater control over the site.

    Thanks in advance!

    only limited by server capacity

    2. How difficult is it to convert my webportal from WP to Drupal if I wish to do so at a later date? I’m still thinking of using Drupal because it seems to allow for greater control over the site.

    it is hard as hec as all of the converters are always out of date due to new releases of both software

    That depends on your skill if you know what your doing then there both the same but if you dont then WordPress is easyer to learn.

    To begin, I use both WordPress (marvelinthesky.com) and Drupal (jollydregs.com) ((sorry they are down currently, moving to new web host)) and am moderately skilled when it comes to xhtml/css. I started off with Drupal (via tutorials on Lynda.com) and it did take a good deal of time (2+ weeks of devotion and use) to figure out the method/process for modifying themes and making views (you will need to moderately know html/css). When I decided to do my blog site in WordPress I also watched some tutorials for prep but it took less than a week to get things up and running. That said, I actually found the simplicity offered to WordPress’ users (by keeping some things behind the scenes) harder at some level cause I know what to modify and can’t get to it or don’t understand how everything connects yet (probably just me)… I like them both, but I suggest picking one for the long haul and not planning to jump later, cause that will be hard.

    Thanks marvelinthesky! The information you just gave is really useful (and thanks for the link to the Drupal tutorials).
