Content Management Systems — 6 Comments

  1. I’ve tested a couple of different CMSs and found them all to be far too complicated and cumbersome. (Joomla!, for instance, has a rather complicated and unintuitive interface, and I found it was going to require a LOT more work to integrate things into it than I felt it was worth at the time.) I use a couple of different instances of WordPress – pumped up on plugin steroids – for CMSs, and I’m very content with the way they work.

  2. Ditto Jim. I’m not a web idiot but I’ve yet to figure out any of the CMS’s to my satisfaction. Any plug-ins that you download are not the simple unzip and install the way WP is. As far as I’m concerned I can do anything I want with WP and am working on building a web site for my Civil Air Patrol unit with it. I’ll let you know how that goes.

  3. The other option I suppose is getting someone to set up the CMS for you, so that you just have to do the actual writing of, well, content. I tried Drupal a year ago, and it was just too inflexible for what I wanted. It was easy enough to set up with the basics, but if you wanted to change things you really needed to know CSS and PHP.

  4. A pox on PHP! I know it’s supposed to be all that but man…I just can’t make heads or tails of it. I was able to teach myself HTML but I think I’ll need a class in PHP. I *heart* WP because they’ve made it so very user friendly.
