michaelper22 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2007 The Joomla community 9along with it's extensive list of components and other extensions) is really booming. Andwith the release of Joomla 1.5 on the horizon, things are really looking good.Mambo is not doing too well last I looked, losing developer popularity to Joomla. My say would be to begi your site with Joomla.WordPress doing very well too, coming up as one of the most popular blogging platforms around. The selection of plugins for it too is quite large.

michaelper22 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2007 (edited) I am swiched on Joomla after mambo . but i think its a same wrapper joomla improve GUI and now is better ?? (:Joomla started off of the mambo codebase, and is a seperate project. Joomla has features that mambo doesn't, and vice versa. One real striker between the two is that in the next major release of Joomla (version 1.5, which is currently in beta), basically everything about Joomla has been overhauled: the Admin has a new look, the API and framework has been changed and many other improvements are present.If you use Joomla right now, don't worry about your currently-installed extensions, because Joomla 1.5 has backwards compatibility included for legacy components, modules, mambots (aka plugins) and templates.

Silivar 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2007 I'm partial to Joomla, personally. I haven't used a lot of others extensively, though. Joomla and Wordpress, primarily. I'd like to try some of the others, but I'm too lazy to do so. Takes too much time to upload those on my connection. Joomla seems to be the most hopeful one. Though I haven't used Joomla a lot yet. I have no real use for a CMS at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biscuitrat 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2007 I like Movable Type a lot; it's easy when you've grasped it, but hard to start out on. For the beginner, I recommend Wordpress -- for the slightly more advanced, TextPattern or Expression Engine (something I really want to try), or if you use Ruby, Radient or SimpleLog -- both of which are very impressive. There's always Symphony too. But Movable Type is a bit more customizable from the beginning, I feel, because it has flat template files, which Wordpress doesn't do very well (in my opinion). The problem with WP is that it divides a template into many different sections, which isn't always necessary. It works if you have a header and footer that will never change, but not if you want full and easy control over your website.Portal sites are fading out, I think. I haven't seen a PHPNuke, Mambo, or Joomla site in a good long time, which is probably a good thing. For the web-nazi in me, I like how the table-based portal sites are fading out, but I know that they're being replaced -- for the better -- by new scripts that will do the job more effectively; but back on topic:As far as ease of use goes, Wordpress tops the list. It's a great CMS; but it, like every other platform out there, needs some work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iceblade 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2007 I always like portal because of many things..one is the way or style..It's kind of easy to use and they are many styles you can choose from..another thing I like about it is that it's a good starter if you have a forum or website what other way can you have something this great I recommend this to anyone who is making their websites it won't put you down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Templates aren't required to be built on tables.And yes, WordPress does rock. It's killing off alot of the competition. And with WordPress.com, blogging has never been easier.

Tetraca 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) For normal sites, Siteframe is my absolute favorite type of CMS to use. For Wikis, there's no rival to Mediawiki for most of my purposes. There are times I've used Dokuwiki successfully because it just works, however. These are for primarily documentation situations. I absolutely dispise Joomla, however.
