content management systems! hooray!

November 28, 2007

So, in an effort to replace the zope/plone craziness of kzsc.org, I’ve been looking into CMS alternatives. I know - exciting, right? It’s been a whole lot of uploading files, changing permissions and using the wonderful new tabbed terminal in Leopard. I’ve set up a few on this site so far, with only one looking like a real option. If anyone’s had any experience with any of these - let me know!

  • wordpress (duh) - too blog based, but on the other hand, good for multiple blogs (μ - mu edition)
  • drupral - also blog based
  • expression engine - not very user friendly and a hell of a time to change skins
  • joomla - the best for not-blogs so far and very easily skinnable
  • plone - an actual up-to-date version that makes life better

So maybe joomla for kzsc.org - it’s a whole lot easier than plone, that’s for sure. But for this blog? Wordpress all the way.

On another note - anyone have any strong opinions on the Academy of Art? Specifically the School of Computer Arts: New Media? Because that’s looking like a nice place to head next.
