  WordPress is also a cms. Pretty much all blog platform software is a cms or it’s a static site generator.

    Wordpress.org homepage uses the word “blog” (along with “publishing platform”), it does not use the term CMS. Joomla.org uses CMS and has zero mentions of “blog”.

    Wordpress.com is even more stark, mentioning the word “blog” 33 times. Joomla.com again, zero mentions of it.

      wordpress can be as markety as they want, it’s a CMS by the real definition of it.

      The wiki article for WordPress describes it as a cms en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordPress

      What even are you trying to argue here exactly?

        I don’t actually care about Wordpress, my point was Joomla is a bad recommendation in this context (a WordPress refugee looking for different blog software). Joomla (and Drupal) is a bad recommendation when there are better and more focused tools available.
