  I am looking for customizable server side software that would allow to:

  - Blog
  - Categorize blog entries
  - Register users without requiring administrator support
  - Allow users to blog
  - Let visitors/users rate blog entries in more than one rating category
  - Display top ratings/best of in above categories
  - Display featured articles
  - Keep additional data for each blog entry (ie. some url, tags)

  Will Wordpress let me do all that, or should I rather check Drupal and the likes?

  i think that's a bit beyond wp. drupal would probably fit the bill. or plone if you want something written in a language that doesn't blow. ha.

  I probably won't risk plone as I have no knowledge of python (it's in python, isn't it?).

  Can I add automated user registration in nopattern/wordpress/nopattern?..

  • I mean, nopattern /wordpress /expression engine, huh..– rafalski

  This is a perfect job for Drupal. You will need some added mod's but Drupal will do it no probs. Drupal is a major pain to customize and to make templates is the most frustrating thing I have done, allot of the code and logic is just always clear.

  Wordpress is a very powerful CMS as well so I even think with Wordpress MU you can get allot of it done.

  Looking at wordpress MU, it lets you create multiple blogs, not sure about users self-registering to a single one

  There are tons of info in the forums but I am not sure if you want to use Drupal 6 or 5.7 there is a big difference from 5 to 6 and allot of the mod's are still in development for version 6. But if you go for version 5.7 then all you need are the following Mod's:

  CCK
  CCK fields - Email field, image field or what ever you need
  Contemplate
  Taxonomy
  Views
  Pathauto
  Token
  Path Redirect
  Captcha

  After reading for ages and getting my hands on the code I still never got my site up and running on Drupal... One day...
