My existing client is taking most of their work in-house, so I’m searching for new and exciting things to do. The first thing is to get this website back into shape. If you’re here, I’ve settled on WordPress, which seems to do the things that I want out-of-the-box. Some others that I examined and dropped were:
- Plone. Just a beautiful CMS, but I have no hope of ever being able to adjust the theme, let alone add a new product to it. My mind just doesn’t function the same way Zope does. Perhaps someday someone will give me the missing nugget of information that I need.
- Drupal , Mambo and Joomla. I could install all of them, but I had trouble figuring out how to start putting content into them. And when I did figure it out, I couldn’t get nice URLs to work, or how to get a WYSIWYG editor working. (I know it’s all possible, I just could not figure it out in one hour or less.)
- I thought about trying to “roll my own” with Pylons and Genshi, but I need to get the marketing message out now, not six months from now
