Re: best CMS

CMS?
Isn't this just another layer of complication that may not really be necessary?
I guess it's available for the lazy.

Sounds like a savy software engineer can code up a MySQL database with some script language and HTML/PHP and you have the same end result.

Re: best CMS

well yeah i prefer just making static sites with my incredibly non compliant html and css. with a few java menus then its easy to add new pages. nice and fast loading, using up little server resources and in the end having an original design.

unfortunately it seems to be the way to go to use a cms. I find many sites have comments which are quite interesting. so comments feature is pretty important. Then if i can write a few articles one day and have them publish automatically one per day or so on that would be nice.

i tried joomla but never bothered to get past installing and modifying a theme. it looked like i was going to have to read the manual first......i have installed drupal and am going to have a go this weekend to see if i like it.

but yes it does add another layer of complication especially concerning the design which i think is very limiting in most cms because unless someone knows good css then it is necessary to get a theme and try to hack it a bit otherwise the site is looking like many others.

Re: best CMS

I use Wordpress on my site, I just stripped off the blog part of it so that it works as a CMS.

Re: best CMS

i use community server but i don't think that counts. joomla was pretty good when i used it.
