Hi there,

I'm working on a web app that is for a fitness community.
The goal is to allow users to post their favorite work out tunes and other users rate them. sort of like digg and other web 2.0 voting based sites, but of course not as complicated.
I did some research and seems like CMS wouldn't be a bad choice? (i.e. joomla or drupal)
I also read some articles on flex today...
but a lot of mixed review on all of them!

what would you suggest?

ps. I'd rather use a template that comes with one of these tools rather than spend time on design

Thanks for your time,

parachuter2b

Hi,

You can use wordpress as CMS and use any of these plugins for polling to the post/query:

I'm sorry I should have perhaps said it's a rank based website (rather than vote based). That is, the tunes that are posted on the site would get thumbs up/down by website users. Therefore, we could find out which ones are more popular etc.

did some research on wordpress today. It seems like a great blogging tool, but is it also ideal for what im looking to do?
