I’m a web designer, but am new to blogging and CMS. I’ve been looking at tutorials on YouTube and looking at how you install both WordPress and Joomla and some of the features of both. I have several questions and detailed answers from experienced developers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all those who answer!

The reason I’m looking into these CM systems is so that clients may take over the website once it’s designed (blog, post articles, update, etc.). Which CMS is the most user friendly?

Which CMS offers the most flexibility in terms of features?

What is the difference between WordPress and Joomla? From what I can tell, WordPress is more for blogging and Joomla seems to be more for news articles. If I were to get a job with a newspaper company, I would like to be able to have them be able to post their news articles and have people be able to comment on stories. Which one is best for this?

Also if I would be working for a newspaper, I would like the articles to be able to be searched for through a search engine on the site. Do either of these CM systems offer search capability? If both do, which one is easier to install?

To use these CMS, do you need to know a lot of PHP?

For WordPress, which is easier to use? WordPress.com setup or installing the files from WordPress.org right onto the hosting server? Is the user interface set up the same way? Like, is the dashboard exactly the same for both? I’m asking this more from the point of view for a person who really doesn’t have much computer experience (just enough knowledge to know simple things like email and such).

Are there any hidden fees while using these CMS?
