Mambo vs Wordpress

OK, so I'm not in code-nancy land anymore, Toto

It's the new year, so I figured it was time to snazz up the Ms Naughty blog. After reading various threads about good blogging software I've now installed a version of Wordpress and a version of Mambo just to see what they do.

And Mambo... whoa! I'm wondering if I've just installed a Ferrari when a moped will do fine. It's so super-snazz I have no idea what I'm doing. It can be used for a blog, but I've seen it recommended as a content store manager and a review site db. Does anyone have experience with it? Am I going overboard using it as a blog? Also, I'm not sure what the deal is with the Joomla/Mambo dichotomy.

Wordpress looks easier but I still need to put it into my own template which looks like a hassly process. I read UWs thread on the topic, there's some good tutorials there. I probably should just go with WP but - as has been said before - absolutely everyone uses it and I'd kind of like my new blog to look similar to the old one.

I think I'm rambling now. It's all so exciting (and snazzy). |shocking|

I should put in links: http://www.mamboserver.com and
http://demo.joomla.org/
