You might consider using Wordpress as a content management system. I've had a brief look at Drupal, and it seems to have a much steeper learning curve for not much more usefulness, at least on the casual user level. Drupal users seem to spend a lot of time learning and tweaking Drupal, which seems like the modern incarnation of the 'build your own PC and make sure all parts talk to each other' thing: I like mine to come out of the box and work.

(Wordpress is impressive because it's PHP/SQL based - you can see what's happening, you can tweak it if you want, but much of the time someone else has already done the work for you.
