    I have a vBulletin board but I use Wordpress as my front page blog. I found a pretty useful plugin that carries posts from forums I choose to the wordpress blog page.
    I also have a plugin on Wordpress that takes all my posts from there and posts them to my Twitter account.

    So in effect 1 single post on say my "General Chit-Chat" forum, will be posted to Wordpress and Twitter at the same time.

    What do you all use as your Frontpage / Blog ??

    I used to use Movable Type, but switched to WordPress for the ease of use. In terms of using them in conjunction with vB though, I haven't attempted the dreaded vB-WordPress bridge.

    I've heard a lot of people have trouble with it; then again, maybe it's improved since the last time I took a look at it.

    I have Wordpress, too. I could easily bridge it with my forum. The IPB and WP bridge is simple to do with IP Converge.

    I'm trying to try Pixelpost (image blog), but there's a huge bug that prevents it from installing. Thankfully someone found a fix.

    Movable Type is a bit weird. The beta for 4.3 is open and there's a new software that split off from it called Melody...

    I was looking at the IP Converge, but hate that it uses Zend :rolleyes:

    I hadn't heard about Melody, but then I pretty much stopped reading MovableType's newsletter emails after I started moving everything over to WordPress.

    I use to use Word Press but found it difficult to manipulate to how I wanted it all to look so created my own html/php front page (although I am not the best at coding)

    I'm setting up a Wordpress<->BBPress integration for my newest site...

    Drupal, hands down. The only thing WordPress has on it is the onsite htaccess and plugin handling.

    I'm starting to use Wordpress. I haven't really started to use it much yet as we've been finishing the layout and design of it, but we're at the stage where I'm nearly ready to pop out a couple of blogs and get things rockin' and rollin'.

    Fazer, which plugin for WP do you use to post to Twitter?

    Fazer (or anyone else familiar)...which Twitter plugin(s) do you recommend for sharing your blog posts to Twitter?

    Or, can we simply use something like Twitterfeed?

    I noticed this plugin: WordPress › Twitter Tools WordPress Plugins
