Due to an upgrade of SmarterMail, digests seem to have had a problem.
We are working on it.

Hi Kevin,
I have used Textpattern on a number of client sites, and have been
very happy with it so far. It is extensible using PHP (I believe),
and produces valid, accessible code when used 'out of the box'. It is
simple to install, use and maintain. Do take a look.
Best,
- Rahul.

Thanks Greg, just taking a look at WebGUI, looks really good.

I would avoid CMSMadeSimple
It's not a bad CMS but _everything_ is after-market and it is very
difficult
to maintain as standards compliant.
I use WebGUI (www.webgui.org) right now for CMS work. It maintains
compliance quite well - although its server requirements are a bit
higher.

Funny you should send that one Kevin, I am literally just scoping
around for
a similar solution to the site I have just built. I was
recommended these
two aparrently free CMS solutions by another client.
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/
http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/
I am only just taking a look now so not sure how standards
compliant they
are. The last site I built used a combination of Contribute and
Wordpress,
not so pretty and kind of limiting. Depends on what they want to
update and
the type of content I guess.
I would like to hear of any other free open source CMS solutions
there are
out there? preferably one using PHP, but open to suggestions.
Cheers
Paul

I find it very disappointing that very few clients really appreciate
the amount of hard work that goes into designing and building a site
(in my experience). This particular client wants to save a few
bucks
by maintaining the site herself. She doesn't seem to realize
that her
time is valuable as well and better used when devoted to her
strengths. I think most of us know that we need to call a
plumber or
electrician as they are "experts" in their fields, and rightly
so. Nuff

Now that I have a realization that I need to incorporate some
sort of
a CMS solution, can anyone lead me to resources that may help to
teach
me the ropes? I am leaning towards PHP, as I am somewhat familiar

Hi all,
I am trying to find a solution to a nagging problem. Most of my
client's sites are not very dynamic and I update them as the
client requires. Because the updates are very infrequent, I have
not been charging very much for this ongoing support. However, I
have a new client who wants to maintain her own site (one I
designed
for her).
She is pretty good on the computer, but doesn't really know her
way around HTML or CSS. I am agonizing over how to "pass the
torch" over to her. The site is not extremely complex, but is
more than a little task for someone who does not design web sites.
I am wondering for advice on this situation and I am also
wondering how others handle ongoing updates after the initial
design has been implemented.
I am also wondering if a CMS system would, in any way, be a
solution to a situation like this.
Thanks.
Be careful if you don't use a CMS system. I donated a web site for
a local organization and it was a beauty...since I no longer had
the
time to devote to updating I turned it over to a so called 'web
designer' in the community (at the recommendation of the executive
director). Sadly, he has basically ruined my site because he
has no
idea what he is doing and has no concept of web standards--or
style for
that matter.
It is a real shame that so many people charge for and design web
sites that don't follow any sort of standards.
Matthew
