Drupal is at an exciting point as it moves more and more into common use. But, as has been the case with other technologies, this move comes with a major change. Until now, most people putting up Drupal Web sites have had the skills to customize Drupal. If there isn't a module that does what you want, just write some PHP code. Want a theme just for you, no problem. There are suggestions for improvements and bug fixes on the Drupal site and other places that you can apply yourself to the code (not Core, please!).

Blogs are great--for certain things. Radio Userland was exciting, and Blogger was a great improvement that added all kinds of power. WordPress is even better, and, as is always the case, being built with a new architecture on the experiences of other blogging systems, it is terrific.

When I wrote Database-Driven Web Sites in 1999, some people were dubious, but others jumped on the bandwagon because they realized this was a way (and perhaps the only way) to manage the backlog of Web pages that needed to be created or updated. Over the last decade, many people have continued to hand-craft HTML pages, but increasingly we're turning to automated tools: templates and style sheets, databases, and light-weight apps.
