By robust I mean that if I one day change a page name, then the link breaks down. In TYPO3, links are robust, so you can change pagenames and urlrewriting and still have links that works. When I made my site I had to gaze through the Drupal code to figure out how to integrate my php code. Drupal is somewhat ugly non-oopish code. The way you make themes in TYPO3 is much more elegant than in Drupal. TYPO3 has a much more mature backend, but sadly also a much steeper learning curve. I don't know MODx. How is it's backend? -- Best regards Simon Strandgaard [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
