    News website with drupal

    Hi all,

    I am planning to create a news website with Drupal. I have to say I'm not new with Drupal but I'm no close to being an expert, either.
    Can somebody of you recommend me a good template for a news website ?? 'd be even more happy to get a recommendation of someone who already had built a news website.


    Thanks !

    Any particular reason you would choose Drupal over Joomla?

    Hi, I dont know the OP's reasons. But my own reason is that Drupal is the CMS which I feel most comfortable to work wth. I happen to just begin with Joomla. Is there any advantage of using Joomla for a news website over Drupal ?? Sorry f it's sounds too silly. I'm a complete noob :P

    Personally, I have never used Drupal and, frankly, I have no interest in doing so. As such, I cannot really comment as to a "which one is better" comparison - suffice it to say that I have been working with Joomla for about six years now, and I've found it to be amazingly dynamic and relatively easy to work with.

    As for a great Joomla based news template, perhaps you might be interested in checking out the following . . .

    Hi,
    I've checked the links you put above. The design is really good. But, as a current wordpress user, may I ask the the advantage of joomla(themes) you put above over wordpress especially in making news website? Thanks

    I thought we were taking about Drupal here, not WordPress.

    In the end, it comes down to your personal preference and comfort level in working with whichever CMS you feel most comfortable working with.

    There is a link labeled "Discount" within the main fanpage header (currently showcasing "Puresite" )
