Drupal is quite complicated and Wordpress is pretty bloated too these days too. If you want to KISS, Wordpress is great! One site I use it on has several hundred entries each year and 14-18,000 uniques a month so I know it can take a beating. Only one possible drawback is that it a single user blog.
