[Year 12 IT Apps] OT: User friendly, easy to administrate CMS

[Brett Davies]

Laurie,

It is difficult to go past Joomla with iJoomla magazine component for a
complete solution. It is however a complex one to get your head around
if you want to completely customise the solution. Almost anyone can get
started if you are prepared to go with just a template.

For ease of use, complete customisation and full compliance with w3C
standards along with good support and "some" extensibility, try
cmsmadesimple @ www.cmsmadesimple.org.

A blog style cms which is quite easy to use is wordpress @
www.wordpress.org.

Id be happy to assist you in anyway with any of these if you need..just
lemme know!

This is completely off topic, but our librarian would like to set up our
college magazine on line. I thought a CMS (like PHPNuke, Drupal etc)
would be the solution but most that I've looked at seem very labour 
intensive for the administrator to set up for end users and content
managers. 

Can anybody recommend a system (not Moodle - we need gallery
facilities)?
