I'm trying to set up a "whats on" listings type portal and not sure the best way to handle the CMS. I can do it manually, using some fairly basic ASP/HTML and to be honest, that would satisfy most of my needs.

That said everything seems to Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla nowadays and part of this excersise to update some skills. I've been fannying around with Wordpress the last few days and while some functionality is excellent, a lot of what I'm wanting it to do is frustrating me. I know shag all php so hacks and workarounds are not going to happen.

The question is should I persevere with Wordpress and keep looking at forums, plug ins etc or just sack it all off and get it done in ASP?
