    Hello all,
    Okay, I would like some advice from you DP nerds :D
    Basically, I am looking to create a website which will be used just to publish information articles. I want it to look fairly professional, and website friendly, but I want the website for informational purposes only. EG, I don't want to be able to login, look at calendars, have shout boxes, forums, etc....I just want to be able to publish lots of articles on different aspects of rearing insects.
    I have had a brief look on opensourcecms, but I couldn't face trudging through all of the CMS to see if there was an appropriate option!
    So, does anyone know anything that can suit my needs? Also, I would like a powerful search tool to be included.
    Thanks in advance.

    Use wordpress since publishing will be your main aim. Although forum integration may take effort.

    i'm using joomla for all of my sites. it's complex and flexible cms . it has tons of extensions which allows you to convert your cms what you want. it also a has great community that gives you a perfect support
