I started off using drupal (http://www.drupal.org) which was pretty 
good, although not quite what I wanted so I then switched to 
TextPattern (http://www.textpattern.com/).  Eventually though, once I 
realised how much faster java was compared to php (see 
http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk/blog/Archive,$DirectLink.do?sp=26 )
after starting to use it to develop a web application, that I have 
switched the majority of my web site (see link in my sig) to it.  I 
wrote my own blogging application (see 
http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk/blog/Archive,$DirectLink.do?sp=29 ) 
and currently working my way through a issue tracking application.

I still use php for web mail (sqwebmail) and for my photo gallery 
(gallery2) but I shall probably superceed those with java applications 
eventually.

The whole thing is constructed around the tapestry framework 
(http://tapestry.apache.org/index.html) which does a great job of 
separating out the html of the layout and the java of the dynamic part 
of the application.  I use the iBatis layer (http://ibatis.apache.org/) 
to provide a very powerful tool to access my database.
