So I looked around Zoomla...
What the hell is a CMS lol I know content Management system... but does that mean it is a program that creates webpages? I need something that basically gives me a plank white page that I can put text and titles and pictures and links to other pages on?
It is a system that you create content from with in the site. No longer would you use apps like dreamweaver or the like. There are also modules, that people develop which act like apps and plug ins for your site. For example, I just added the GeSHi plug in on my site, which allows me to wrap code in color based on syntax.

Now, if you click on that link and view my bash code, you will see that the plug in ( id est - the module) called GeSHi automatically formatted my syntax by color code to make my script look more "pretty." and perhaps to emulate those fancy text editors that do that stuff for you as well.
Also, notice how the path of that link I send you, has the title in the path. The "testing-out-geshi" is another module I downloaded on my site called, Path Auto. Pathauto allows for whenever you create content for it to snip the title in the path to said content. It makes things a lot easier once you build a site, then all you need to do is fill it with content.
I use Drupal because all my friends who are web developers by trade swear by it. Once I was introduced to drush, another module for Drupal, I was completely sold.
Hope that helps explain it better.
