Joomla! vs Dotclear: What are the differences?
Developers describe Joomla! as "A content management system helping both novice users and expert developers to create powerful websites and applications". Joomla is a simple and powerful web server application and it requires a server with PHP and either MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server to run it. On the other hand, Dotclear is detailed as "An open-source blog publishing application distributed under the GNU GPLv2". It can be automatically or manually installed and once the process is done, it lets users manage different aspects of single or multiple blogs.Since Its aim is to make blogging easy even for those without coding knowledge, the platform provides themes.
Joomla! and Dotclear can be primarily classified as "Self-Hosted Blogging / CMS" tools.
Some of the features offered by Joomla! are:
- User Management
- Media Manager
- Language Manager
On the other hand, Dotclear provides the following key features:
- Rich Text Editor
- Individual Pages
- Tags & Categories

10 Years ago I have started to check more about the online sphere and I have decided to make a website. There were a few CMS available at that time like WordPress or Joomla that you can use to have your website. At that point, I have decided to use WordPress as it was the easiest and I am glad I have made a good decision. Now WordPress is the most used CMS. Later I have created also a site about WordPress: https://www.wpdoze.com
