Joomla?

[MilleniaJ]

I think that Wordpress is underrated for this kinds of thing.
Joomla is good, but so is Wordpress. Just because most blogs look the same with their linear post design, doesn't mean yours should.

Although if your looking for an out of the box CMS, I'd say go for Joomla.

I'd still lean in Wordpress' direction only for blogs really. The best CMS in my opinion is Drupal, it's so powerful and easy to extend.

joomla and drupal are really good,but you could try zimplit also ,it is prepared keeping non programmers in mind.best thing is that you need not write a single line of code for any thing.
