I have a LOT more experience with WP than Drupal right now. I certainly could have used WP for the FAQ (I just wanted to play with Drupal). Drupal does seem to lend itself better to "collaboration" than WP, but that area is almost *completely* unexplored for me. For now. I suspect Drupal is far more powerful than I know. I just haven't had much time to mess with it yet. Jury is still out on that Jim. I have a LOT more experience with WP than Drupal right now.

How does (I know I can google it) Drupal compare - for how you use it - to WP? I just looked at this for the first time and am very, very impressed with the content and the platform.

I don't want it to be "in your face", but getting business is the ultimate goal... I use "Peter's Custom Anti-Spam" plugin for the comment "captcha's". And yes, you can pick your own words -- as many as you'd like. That feature, plus the fact that the words are easy to read, is what led me to use it. It is available here: http://www.theblog.ca/anti-spam Great idea Tracy, I’m going to have to add that to the list. I don’t want it to be “in your face”, but getting business is the ultimate goal…

I am just putting my toe into the Drupal and Joomla waters. What about adding a tab for searching local homes, using an interactive (as in soft lead capturing) IDX solution? It seems like an excellent, but low-key way to help your readers further, yet gently lead them to you for solid business. On another topic, what are you using for anit-spam on your comments here? Do you pick the security words? I loved the word generated for me and I'd like to spread the gospel of happy security words. =-D Excellent use of Drupal, Jay!

Your FAQ site is a perfect balance. Thanks for setting it up, I plan to link early and often.
