Do any of you guys use a CMS for your websties?
Whats the best, easiest to use, and the one you use? I've only heard of Mambo, Drupal, EzySite, AcidCat, and FarCry that are free. Please enlighten me. |

I use a content management system for a part of my site. It's called Nucleus. The only reason I like Nucleus is that you can edit its HTML source code to make all your pages W3C compliant. As an added bonus, you can add plug-ins or extensions to Nucleus to make it even more customizable.
Edit: Forgot to close a BBCode tag. Whoops

I have just installed IGaming CMS. It is designed specificly for gaming sites. It is open source and free to download. You can check it out IGaming.comhere.
I am still pretty new to PHP but it installed smoothly for me and I have had no errors in any of the admin sections. Visual customization is a bit of a problem for people like me who don't know much about PHP. Lots of options in this one though. zippy77 |

I use WordPress.
It's not exactly a content management system per se, but it's more of a blogging tool that has huge potential and with a bit of know-how you could tweak to make it into a CMS. With Version 1.5 (which is out already) I think you can create pages infinite levels deep and it will all link back from the main page (the directory where you installed it). I only just installed it last night so I couldn't really tell you all of the features but so far I'm loving it. You should go check it out, really. I think it's up at www.wordpress.org |

I use Mambo and have been doing so for over 6 months. I liked it and more modules can be added to it depending on the requirement.
btw, there are numerous threads about CMS or content management systems with many view of different cms. You could look at those threads instead of starting a new one. Cheers. |

Open source is software made for Non-profit, so its free, and if you was a developer you could look at the source code and tinker with it, closed-source is the opposite, developers don't allow you to look at their source code, and it isn't likely to be free, e.g Linux = open source, Windows = Closed Source!
