This post was inspired by a conversation on Twitter, where @ShaneSponagle, my buddy and MODx guru extraordinaire 🙂 asked me what my blog stats looked like with respect to interest in MODx vs. Drupal, since I blog about both platforms.  What I’m going to present here is a simple, and yet not so simple answer to that question.

Some disclaimers before I start:

1. I’m not an expert on either platform, I just share what I know and I’m learning
2. I’m not an expert at statistics or interpreting them
3. I’m not making any statements about which CMS is “better” or “more popular” than the other
4. In the grand scheme of things, I’m a small fish and this blog is just a small portion of the web, and so I don’t pretend to represent any global trends

That said, I think there’s some moderately good basis for comparison for three simple reasons:

1. I am working concurrently on two tutorial sets, one for Drupal and one for MODx
2. They are both aimed at complete newbies, so the audience is comparable
3. A lot of my top hits and searched are on posts in either tutorial series, with the exception of two other posts (one on Fedora and the other on splitting CSV files).
