I agree with Steven, Drupal is easier to manage, better supported, with security functions and features that are not available in either Wordpress or Joomla.  Updates for Drupal are easier (core items), but some of the old modules are no longer developed or supported. 

Drupal was/is the development platform for state, city and governments in various capacities where the budget does not warrent J2EE.

With an account on GoDaddy. you can play with all of these instantly without having to do installation engineering; it's point and click.

Some "free hosters" also offer Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal, however you must pay for the PHP/Mysql and mail, and they don't guarantee uptime.  In fact, they are down a great deal of the time, depending on who you choose.

I have about 20 websites currently happily surviving in Drupal.   I have none that survived the Wordpress security fiasco, nor Joomla's simple complexity for content management.

looking at your site Joomla would be able to plug into your look and
feel already and simply expand your existing site. it has many skins
that are a nearly identical layout.

Drupal should be able to be skinned tot he same look and feel, it i
think is more flexible and has more capabilities for future expansion.
and i personally liked it more.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
