A free online (no download needed) content management for membership sites needed

Hi. I am thinking about starting my own community portal website....you know, like a social bookmarking or 'get paid to write' site and I need to know a free online content management software that doesn't require a download and is easy to use. I would perfer to build a website like "ehow" or "associated content". I know that If I hire a programmer, it will cost a fortune. Help!!!

 

I don't quite follow what you want. What do you mean by "doesn't require a download"?

 

I think he means hosted as in the free forums you can get on the net that are hosted already. I dont know any CMS like that though , maybe someone else knows one ? but I think thats what he means.



Actually there is something here I forgot ;

Have a search at some popular ones over there like Twilight (http://www.thetwilightsaga.com/) , they are great but yes I think thats what your looking for ?

 

you'll get more out of running your own site -- learn a lot more too.

just get a cpanel hosting account, use fantastico to install wordpress and you've only spent about 15 minutes.
