You said you Dont want blog software but sounds luke wordpress pages
would do exactly what you want. You can use wordpress as a light cms
for small sites. It works great.

i'm looking for something, and it's a difficult thing to search for,

thought i'd ask plug.
i want to build a simple website that is made up of articles in a
single
level hierarchy. these articles should be easy to create and edit
(where
'easy' means something like a wiki markup language).
example:
Toast and Pancakes Website
Tutorials
- tutorial on making toast
- tutorial on making pancakes
Photographs
- article with pancake photos in it
- 18th century pancake photos
- ancient egyptian toast photos
History
- history of toast
- another toast history article
- history of pancakes
that's kind of all i'm looking for. i just want a "website in a
box" that
is bonehead simple to maintain and add things to. like i want to be
able to
add a new article on pancake history in 5 seconds, with pictures and
links
and stuff.
things that i don't think will work:
- blog software. blogs are linear journals. yes, blog entries can be
grouped into a single level hierarchy, but it's still a blog and
they all
look very "bloggy".
- wiki software. the closest thing i could find is tiddlywiki -
it's very
*simple* which is good, but it's very non-SEO friendly, it's just
one big
javascript thing and very non-webby (eg. your browser back button
doesn't do
anything. feels weird.)
the thing blog and wiki software have in common is that they are
bone-head
simple to add content too. that's really good, but there must be a
generic
website software that does the same thing, right?
then there are like 5 millions CMS software packages - but geesh,
what a
mess that is.
any ideas? or do i have to built it myself (which i really, really,
really
don't want to have to do - i'm a lousy web dev and it doesn't sound
fun at
all.)
