The main point of difference is that blogs are really designed for posting articles and not much else. As soon as you want to start structuring the data beyond a title and a block of text (e.g. importing a data feed like I did with the Sunshine.co.uk hotels data feed on Hurgahada-Resort.com) then a more flexible CMS is needed. Flexibility always brings complexity along to the party though!

Obviously with wordpress you get the RSS feed built-in - is an RSS feed easy to achieve with EE ? On testdriveit the urls include /index.php/page ...is this just because of the hosting package for that site (I do the same on my own site 'cos the hosting doesn't support mod_rewrite).
