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

[Maggie Iaquinto]

Joomla isn't simple at the beginning, but it has excellent output. What is the iJoomla magazine component? Graham Travers is a devotee of Joomla and his efforts can be viewed at www.grahamtravers.com .

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)?

Laurie
