[Maced] Web site content management systems

[Robert Linas]

Hi David,
I'm using textpattern. I originally had it running on an old PC  
running ubuntu, but that died so I set up a lampshade mac as a MAMP  
server. Got it set up with reverse proxy. Installed textpattern on it  
and away we go,
There are heaps of templates , plugins, resources and the txp  
community is very helpful. Our school website is texpattern run. Can  
edit from anywhere with an internet connection. Can have as many  
users as we want to contribute - with many levels of permissions  
(from draft writers who can only submit and have an administrator  
edit and publish ) through to Publishers, designers etc.
For the user - they get a heading and text area. They choose which  
section to publish and it gets formatted according to the css and html.
And the site can be as sophisticated as your css, html and xml skills  
will allow. (as well as the plugins you use)
Here is what our basic school website looks like;
http://web1.werrington-p.schools.nsw.edu.au

and this is a txp site I am developing for my church
http://dev.lmap.org.au

This second one has some nice stuff like embedded picasa slideshow  
and google maps, email forms and so forth.
It is not being used yet, but will hopefully be ready by next month.

Anyway - if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I am a  
bit of txp evangelist. i think it is fantatstic.

Oh... and its free.
