So tonight, I didn’t feel much like anything. Logged into Wow, meh. Logged into EVE, meh. Don’t feel like playing any of the games I have installed, don’t feel like reading on the nook, watching TV or anything really.
meh.
And then I got an email. An email telling me, that a plugin on Aharon’s blog needed updating. I mean that isn’t exactly earth shattering news, but it has got me thinking on why I still use wordpress for my blogs, but love Drupal so much.
Simple reason. Updates. Drupal BLOWS for updating compared to WordPress. Let me walk you through what it takes for me to update a plugin in wordpress, or even upgrade wordpress itself to a new version.
- Open the email I got sent (sure I cheat and install a plugin to send me emails when things need updating, but it’s super simple to install)
- Click the link.
- Login.
- Look for the “Upgrade Automagically” link.
- Click it.
- Done.
It’s really that simple. I can install new plugins, new themes, upgrade wordpress versions, all simply from within the WordPress Dashboard. Pure awesome. This is what Druapal misses.
Sure Drush does some of that, a little. For me though, my one wish for Drupal 7 is WordPress-like install/upgrade functionality of core and modules. Let me “browse” modules like I browse plugins in wordpress.
Please.
