I need to develop a touristic portal that should have basically articles about tourist attractions, accommodations, restaurants. Articles must have pictures, videos, comments. I also need twitter, facebook integration.
Can wordpress be used for this? I used Drupal cms before ... but I heard that WordPress is more user friendly and it is very seo friendly.
Do you think that this is a good solution?
Yes you can, WordPress is highly customizable CMS, with loads of additional content to be found on web. Here you can find some books, I'm sure you'll find something for you
Also there is a bunch of tutorials on net so book isn't necessary. Just google a bit ;) Also, you may consider using joomla, do some research on both and select the most suitable one
