    I am looking for an article CMS I bumped into this site and liked its setup

    http://www.healthreadings.com/

    is this using drupal? it has some very similar feel to drupal.

    Is wordpress capable enough to do this kind of website? I am experienced with wordpress so would like to use it if i thought it was capable enough.

    Your thoughts?

    I believe you could make a similar site with Wordpress, and make it look better than this one.

    You could use Joomla with the Blog layout. But I'd recommend upgrading to an HTML editor other than the Default TinyMCE.

    Expression Engine could do this, if you can find a designer to make a good template for you. Expression Engine of course is not free.

    Wordpress is real simple to install and use, joomla a little more tricky but more powerful.

    If you have cpanel on your web host, you may have an auto install feature on it.

    yea i am thinking wordpress do you guys have any recommendations for plugins that would assist in setting the site up like the above one? I don't think wordpress' core alone could handle this.

    no i am really looking for something more like this. It is basically an ezinearticles website. I want to have this and a couple of other things perhaps. But I am not sure if wordpress is capable enough. I know drupal can do this but it would require a learning curve that i am not sure i am ready for. Your thoughts?

    Anyone using Joomla should be using JCE - the TinyMCE editor in Joomla is pretty awful.

    The site uses "Article Live" by Interspire.
    If you are really serious about this, its $289.00 only

    Rather i would suggest using wordpress or joomla, you could add more functionalities and play with them!

    You won't neccessarily need plugins (maybe they don't exist for this stuff) but most of the stuff you need can be done real easily just by using existing wordpress function and classes + a bit of custom coding.

    TYPO3 is also good at article management and has quite a few add ons, but like Drupal does have a learning curve unless you use a starter site like this that works out of box.
