If you guys want to know what I am thinking...I am thinking about changing tiyoo.com into an actual website that will have my blogs advertised on it...all updates from my blogs will be on the site...it will also have its own unique content...I dont know if that helps at all I am still pretty new at this whole game...so any help that I can get would be amazingly appreciated.

Thanks

 

Well i love joomla and the native 1.0.X version (not 1.5) have a look at my site chatlife.co.uk that was done in joomla to see the sort of results you can acheive

 

But what are the easiest to edit??? Thats what I guess I really need...I have use php nuke before...but didnt really like it...was not very easily editable and it kept getting hacked

 

Joomla is really really easy to edit. And there are some great SEO components for it as well. I think you should give that one a try, but i prefer 1.0.X and not 1.5

 

My vote goes to DragonFly CMS Fast, secure and flexible

 

Where can I find this dragonfly CMS and do you have an example of a site?

 

On Google? or here http://dragonflycms.org/

 

I love joomla and drupal

 

LOL im sorry..just really busy right now trying to figure this out...lazy too probably...

I am going to end up using drupal I think because its available in my CPanel...but is it easy to edit?

 

I love wordpress

 

Ya Well I woont hate on wordpress because I have 7 sites that use Wordpress...its most definately the easiest to use out of all the CMS's that I have tried...but it just doesnt have the look for my new ideas...so I am having to switch...

 

there is probably no 'best' yet since I believe it depends on what are you gonna use it for ...

If you are going to use it for blog updates then why not go for the cms that specializes on blogs like wordpress?


If not wordpress then you might want to check if you wanted those blog updates automatically be updated to that site, I would think of using rss for that one since many cms could list down rss feeds using plugins. Actually any cms will do... what other features do you want anyway?

 

Hi,

I've spent the last few days evaluating various CMS and directory systems. It is pretty frustrating, since the products, in general, are chaotic. The evolution of the products are unpredictable as are the on-going support. The lone exception so far is ExpressionEngine, which seems to have their act together.

I think that Joomla and Drupal exist as a means for developers to create work for developers. The platforms (and there are multiple since no version is ever compatible with previous versions), are spaghetti patchworks that have about the same amount of resiliency as a wet noodle.

Wordpress is solid, dependable, and rigid, and the support team understands the importance of upward compatibility with new releases.

ExpressionEngine, to me, looks like it was developed by people with lots of professional experience in corporations, and they have developed a very solid platform which appears to minimize grief (though I know some developers breathe life/money from new problems).

For now, and the foreseeable future, I would stay away from Joomla, Drupal, and the like which, I feel, bring more problems than solutions to the table. If you can afford ExpressionEngine, then take a look at it ($95/personal, $295/commercial). The price is incidental compared to what developers charge nowadays to solve even the smallest of problems.

If your application can somehow fit within the Wordpress framework, then I would use that.

Basically I will be using it as a site that connects all of my blogs together...I have various blogs with various niches...and this site will probably be just a one pager with updates listed on the front and eventually a forum amongst other things...if this doesnt make sense let me know.

 

From the way you just described what you want to do, I would use Wordpress. You can very easily achieve what you want to do with it.

 

I already use Myspace...I have been trying to set up my new Tiyoo site on hotcherry.info

The problem is that I dont understand how to edit or get started with Drupal

 

currently i'm enjoying joomla + 1.5 .. usability and design beats WP flat.. but SEO wise, WP has some 'hidden' plugins which can ensure your site stays in top ten (if u know what i mean)

 

So is Joomla easy to use?

 

Yeah joomla is very is easy to use. And as a first timer at CMS it is certainly the first step on the ladder. I will never switch to anything else.

 

i hate to say it, but joomla is probably the bset option for now

dont discount wordpress tho its rlly powerful!
