After ditching Mambo because it ate too much of my space, I switched to Drupal and MAN is it nice. It's a bit unorthodox in its approach, but I really like how all the content is in the same basic format, even the forums.

Drupal is a very nice blog system.
It has lots of plugin available on the Internte.
I am using it for my website as well.

Hmm...this does sound interesting. Right now, im using Nucleus as my blog, but maybe I should try drupal out.

It's worth checking out. I've figured out how to use it quite nicely as a full-featured CMS, not just a blog system. If you want/need an example of it in action check out my site 8bitnation.astahost.com

The only bummer is that it uses only normal HTML code in the content, it doesn't have BBcode or a wysiwyg editor...

I tried drupal some time ago and have to say it's one of the best CMS i've tried. The only aspects i didn't like were that the skins that can be found for drupal are not many and i didn't like them. Now i use phpWebSite and am quite satisfied with it.

Actually, I also didn't like the idea of users using HTML to post in my website's forum, so after a very simple search over here, I found a few really nice modules:

• Bbcode - A phpBB-compatible (as far as I can tell) BBCode filter to allow your users (and you) to post with BBCode.
• BBCode Formatting Bar - Never tested it, but it seems promising.
• FCKeditor for Drupal - Never test it either, but I know FCKeditor, and it's a great piece of JavaScript WYSIWYG editor that works on most common browsers, and can greatly faciliate posting in HTML for the users of your sites.

I've only installed Drupal yesterday, and I love it a lot already!

I too use Drupal to run my site, while it's currently just a blog on crack it still has the ability to become much more then a blog at a moments notice. Plus I do have various static pages and the modules are a nice touch. Having a theme run consistently accross everything including the forums is another nice touch like mentioned.

I'll agree that there aren't as many themes as I'd like to see which was kinda crappy but it got me to find one that was somewhat similar to what I had in mind and then modify the hell out of it to make it work. In the end I was very pleased with the results and haven't looked back since. I used Mambo and phpNuke but stuck with Drupal. Worth checking out.

What is the size of Drupal, by the way? I mean, I have only 150 MB ain my AstaHost account and I need to consider that before going for the option of a CMS or a Blog Software.

And can I install it through Fantastico in AstaHost's CPanel?

Edit: Ok. I found it out myself. It takes about 2 MB to install and can be installed from Fantastico.
