Always use the tool that fits the job best. Otherwise you end up with too much overhead. If your site needs less structure, then Drupal is indeed overkill. "A whole day of editing content types" is an overstatement though. Maybe the first time it'll take that long, but after that, it's just a matter of a couple of minutes. Unless you want to do *very* advanced things of course.
Looking forward to your blog posts! :)

Thanks! Of course "a whole day" was a bit exaggerated :-)

I couldn't agree more ! Great new homepage, although it looks a bit like facebook :-)
In my opinion there is no such thing as 'the ultimate CMS that fits all needs' (although there is a 'Drupal'-hype which makes you think it exists). Anyway in the future maybe have a look at 'CMS Made Simple', it's just a great CMS which you can adapt using PHP and the lovely template language 'Smarty'. I think Drupal is a great CMS, but only fits best in medium-sized (preferably uni-language) websites. Personally I think Drupal isn't that great for the management of websites which have huge navigation structures...
Hope to see some new things soon! Cheers Ruben

Thanks Ruben!
It's the first time someone mentions that it looks like Facebook, although the header is indeed quite similar :-) I'm not an expert in web design, but it will do for now. The design can also easily be changed with a few touches of CSS.
I agree that everyone's needs are different, so a perfect system that works for everyone will be hard to achieve. PmWiki serves my specific purpose very well.
Thanks for mentioning 'CMS Made Simple', never heard of that one before.
And I will try to blog some more again in the future. In the meanwhile, have a look at my Twitter page :-)
