Try WP Super Cache if you’d like to speed up Wordpress.

Maintaining one’s own CMS is the road to insanity. Ask Textpattern founder Dean.

CMS is a group effort. And even with all the talent in the WP core and in external companies like ours, Wordpress still isn’t perfect.

How on earth do you expect to build the pyramids alone?

i think i won’t use 50% of drupal capabillties, i mean, sometimes it’s better go simple…

I using geeklog in my first website, i tried to change it to wordpress, i don’t know why, i think wp is very database heavy, so the same traffic in wp, my server didn’t handle.

Maybe I should read better between the lines, but I wouldn’t have otherwise noticed anything ‘funny or tongue in cheek’ about Anil’s post had someone else not made that observation. His giving flak about the late v2.5 release seems a really narrow view on things, in light of WP’s major and successful upgrades of the last year and a half.

I’m most interested in hearing from people still living in a neutral nation, digging in and getting diry with the design decisions and technical details of the real challenges you need to solve, and how well the WordPress experience treats you in response.

As someone whose entire design business has been transformed by WP, post-v2.1, I can say that projects are more efficient and clients are extremely happy using WP as a small-scale CMS and blog engine. At this point it’s hard to imagine building websites (of a certain size) without it.
