I pretty much use mambo for about all my blogs, even music/video related. But as I saw along the line, Mambo cant be used by any newbie crosing bye the internet and poping the ideea in his head of beeing a webmaster, so he choses wordpress. Opinions are shared, I use them both. And tough I am not a master on comparing this systems, I can say mambo is mostly for medium/experience webmasters. Best Regards.
P.S. I love your blog, but the collors are hurting my eyes :-)

Try "Building Websites With Mambo : A fast paced introductory tutorial " I've read both and found this to be very helpful too.

A book on 'mambo' would be a great idea. i have no luck and the learning curve was too steep for me when I started with it. I might have another crack at it though.

one of the features on the site is going to be a daily devotional. Right now when I add a content item to 'Todays Daily Devotional' it shows up on the page How do I get it to display the actual text of the content item instead of just a link to it? So in other words, instead of just showing a link to the 'testing...this is just an example' text, it would display the text itself on the page linked to above.

I think you're not aware of one of the most exciting options in mambo Exciting for me, I mean
There are two panes for two reasons: First is the most common one, which is that you can use it to split the article in two parts: intro part for the front page and the real article that links to the 'read more' link, which is the intro + the main content merged together.
BUT there is also an option that lets you split these to all together. That means that you could use the intro part for a separate piece of text on your front page and the main part for the real article.
Example: You have a site that reviews movies and you have various people writing reviews, but one person editing the front page content. You could write a frontpage(intro) text like "Our critic Mr. X went to see movie XYZ and wrote an exclusive review for our site....read more" And when you click read more, you'll get the actual review. Just select 'hide intro text' on the parameters.
