    I'd look at drupal or joomla for a good CMS, I've used them both and they're both pretty easy to use.

    Yes, there are lots of templates for both. I'd say go with Joomla first, it's pretty well developed.

    yes, I agree, Joomla is easier to use and many custom template, module, and component. Right now I'm trying to use php-fusion, more faster than joomla but have restricted module :(

    Personally, I feel that Nucleus CMS is pretty easy for beginners to use and yet can be customized to your own liking as you learn the inner workings of the engine. The support forum also helped me with some tips to customize my website the way I want it.

    My biggest problem with Joomla is it is not customized for SEO or AdSense. Yes, you are a beginner, but, if you are going to develop such a massive site, you should start it off correctly from the beginning or you are wasting your time. You should find a CMS that will give normal html names.

    Joomla is great, you might also want to look at a magazine type layout component called ijoomla(.com).

    As above poster mentioned, opensef is great, I use it on my site (below)
