WordPress Online

I have had an online magazine for 3 years, and we are looking to spice up the website. We’ve used Joomla, but are now looking for something new. Is WordPress better than Joomla? We will be adding content rich items on the site: videos, etc. Any suggestions?

point me in the right direction? I want to use wordpress and create a magazine style layout with content management system. I have a domain name and I have hosting, but I can’t find anywhere online on how to set it up. I have a free wordpress blog, but that has nothing to do with a magazine style layout where I have about 4-5 different columns, right?
