Hi Shane. In order to use these applications on hour own computer, you would also need a web server since the interface on which they are configured and utilized requires web services. There are, however, references to hosting services or other servers on which you can play with and utilize the services on their web sites. I've only had experience with drupal and a little Plone, but they can be found at these web sites: http://drupal.org/ and http://www.plone.org/ I know I haven't explained these systems terribly well, but I found this sort of web site creation to be very simple, accessible, clean, and still visually appealing. Since Mac OS runs on Linux, I'm sure apache or some other server can be made to run easily and then one can install drupal or whatever to run with it. You simply log in to drupal as administrator, for example, click "add content" and you're on your way. Hope this helps. If you have any questions, please ask away.
