[ALUG] Content Management Systems - or not!

[Michael]

I agree with Wayne, check out www.busitness.co.uk or
www.thechocolatefountaincompany.co.uk for a couple of Joomla sites. I have
setup a pivotlog site tonight, www.theangel.net

Hope that helps muddy the water! :s

Michael

Although it may be complete overkill and in some ways it is rather
bloated.I don't understand what you need that Joomla doesn't provide.

You can do all the things you ask for by logging into the site as an
author and going to the correct category and clicking "add article"

The only downsides I can see are that the free templates can be a little
bit rubbish (see my site www.digimatic.co.uk for an example of a bad
template that I haven't got around to tidying up yet) but you can just
start with something close and modify to suit.

and that site structure changes would require logging into the admin
interface which there is a lot of in joomla so adding new categories can
be pretty daunting for non technical users.

My own joomla installation really only exists for the purpose of playing
with it and the various plugins. If you want a author or admin login to
mine to play without having to install it first then mail me off list
