Out of curiosity, are you using WordPress Multi-User or are you just dropping new instances of the stand-alone WP application as you create new blogs? I have worked with the single-blog-version for a while now (on my own projects), but would like to implement the multi-user to manage all of our blog real-estate. Additionally we are thinking about options for CMS and Drupal obviously keeps coming to the top. I didn't see it spelled out (maybe I missed it), but how did you decide on Drupal. It does seem to be the leader in open-source CMS, but Joomla and a few others stand out as options. I have read about issues with larger sites on Drupal and struggles with shopping cart functionality. What troubles have you encountered with it?
