So I recently registered for twitter and that sparked the blogging bug I used to have many many years ago. So I am thinking of rebuilding my old blogging site, partly as an outlet to do some writing, but partly as an outlet to do web design which I actually enjoy a lot. I am also thinking that at some point in the future, I could expand it and add all sorts of bells and whistles, so this is why I would like to have it as future-proof and expandable as possible.
When I used to have a blog, I had actually bought and used a pmachine cms, which has now turned into expressionengine. To my untrained eyes, it looked like a fine platform. From my googling, I have found that wordpress, drupal and joomla are nowadays the popular and free alternatives. Drupal seems too technically advanced for me. Wordpress may actually be not so future proof and might become slow and cumbersome if you try to do more than blogging. FWIW, I don't mind shelling the $250 that the paid version of expressionengine requires, although I suspect that the free version will do fine for now.
My question is what kind of platform will better fit with my skill level. Back in the day, I had dabbled on html and css and I think I can brush off those skills today. I have no clue however about any of the advanced languages.
So, what CMS do you think I should go for?
