Content Management Systems
|
Content Management Systems (CMS for short) are, quite simply, essential tools for large Web sites. They are perfect for sites with many pages of content and integrate well with databases like MySQL or ASP. Even smaller sites can benefit from the easy updating features CMS allow. Below you'll find related discussions from the LED email list on these exciting tools. More information: Definitely check out the Wiki entry on content management systems first. Two very popular open source CMS are Joomla! and Drupal. Joomla is usually considered more flexible for attractive designs and has a massive amount of add-on components and modules. Drupal is a bit more serious and may be faster loading with a more compliant code base. You should also check out Wordpress and Typepad, which are blogging tools primarily but do very well as CMS; each one has lots of third-party add-ons available. Wordpress is open source and Typepad requires a license (unless you want to host your blog on their domain for free). Are there other resources I should cite here? If so please let me know. How this works: Each subject heading below links to a discussion page with all the posts in that thread. The date at left marks the original post that started the thread. Subjects here can have anywhere from a single post to well over 50 per topic. It just depends how popular that particular thread is. For more specific information, check out my handy-dandy How to Use this Site guide. The filter field below allows you to quicky find topics by title. Please use it with caution, though, because if it can't find a keyword match it sometimes throws an error. |
