From any host point of view here beside coding a personalised CMS (contenent management system), which CMS out there is to be recomended especially for beginers?

By the way from a webmaster point of view answer could be nice tooo.

I am trying to get my hands on Ez publish and it seems like it cab easy but yet powerfull to use, but intallation process is hectic!

So any advices....

Exu

exudotcom..

you are looking to install EZpublish..

is this correct? you are looking for someone to assist you
with the install of EZpublish?

I'm just trying to be certain of your needs.

Yes that is what i am looking for or if it is too complex for me i would liek to find out any other cMS that is good enough to spend my time trying it and intalling it...

Take a look at PostNuke, found at http://www.postnuke.org . There are some database hoops to jump through, but it is a nice piece of coding. PostNuke is highly configurable/customizable. There is a download with over 300 themes to choose from.

Note: There is a problem with logging in, using the latest version of PostNuke. However, there is an easy fix to the code. The fix is not listed on their site, postnuke.org, and they suggest (in error) that it is a browser issue. If you need the fix, I will post it here.

I will probably be checking out phpWebSite this coming week...if I can find time. I have heard good things about it.It can be found at http://phpwebsite.appstate.edu/

A nice one I'm playing around with right now (on my local windows server) is Typo3 ( http://www.typo3.com/ ). When I first tried it, I thought it would be difficult to use... but I've got it working (granted no dynamic image support - but I didn't really want that) on IIS, and rather surprised myself.

Still playing around with it, but looking at using it to build the backend for the changes I want to make to my Petz site (BTW, there is new interest in this area as there will be a Petz 5!)...
trust that, just as I was about to replace it for a more mature Kids Cat Care site (so Petz would still feature in it)...

Quite a learning curve with it, but it looks pretty impressive, what I've seen so far... even thought a little about converting WSO to use it too - but I wouldn't want to lose my old links or rankings.

Hi exudotcom,

You could always go for the PHPNuke, which I believe, is by far the most popular CMS on the net. However, I think most people know of their glaring security glitches, and they just aren't safe. I have a few other CMS to recommend besides PostNuke. You might want to try these:

http://www.nphp.net/
http://www.drupal.org/

I hope this helps.

I have not used it yet but I've heard that the page publisher at http://www.interactivetools.com is good.
