    I am planning on creating a web site that will allow people to come along an add their name, email address and comments to a petition.

    I’m looking at various ways of doing this (the main one currently being to use PHP and MySQL).

    Last night a friend said that he though WordPress would be much easier for doing this.

    Is this true?

    Guess this question hasn’t so much to do with wordpress but rather your ability how to install, run and maintain a wordpress blog. Meanwhile wordpress can do any job what you expect from an up-to-date interactive Content Management System. Design and functionality are constantly developed by worldwide thousands of wordpress experts.
    If you want people to post comments, wordpress can do this and much more.
    Just to name a few famous websites, Digg Blog, CNN, Ebay, Emeril’s Cooking Blog, Harvard Law School, Jane Fonda, MTV, Newsroom, People Magazine, Playstation, Yahoo, WebMonkey, Wired Magazine, Mashable.com, TechCrunch, run on wordpress. Your friend is right, wordpress is much easier doing all kind of jobs. It is true!

    Like rainer23 said, WordPress would make it pretty easy to do this.

    If you want the comments to be private set up a WordPress blog, install a petition plugin and insert it into a post/page.

    If you don’t care if they are public signatures you could just have a post or page that people comment on and the comment would be a “signature”.
