well im making this website for this community and the best way to catter to their needs i saw was by installing a CMS. i'm testing Joomla right now (because it's so populare) but it seems a bit too packed a little complicated and the desighn doesnt look too good when installed (dont know why). i'm looking for something that's: light weight has lots of features (maybe a forum and a blog) also it would be nice if it's easy for me to desighn my own template for this CMS. i'll keep testing more CMSes but i'm asking for your opinions thaks in advance.

Hmm so you want a lightweight cms... lets see.

php nuke I've used this quite a while and I also used joombla
If I have to compare them I would suggest php-nuke its not as heavy and complicated as joombla.
But I don't know about theming/skinning possebilities.

Currently I am testing Wordpress. Its realy lightweight easy to theme/skin and customise.
The coding is easy and understandable. You can tweak it so that it will be completely to your likings.

thank you but we decided to go with drupal for the reasons up there and because it was so easie to get use to it.
P.S. i hear phpnuke is not very safe

I just wanted to add that if you would search for the Joomla templates you might find some very interesting. I would suggest Joomla eventhough you have made your mind already.

Joomla is great place to start expanding you community.
