[Paul Del - Simplifying Information Technology]

Hey Alex

In my opinion and 5 cents worth.
Joomla, Drupal have there uses, but are a bit more complicated for a
simpler basic site.
(they are more powerful for bigger websites and commerce)

CMS Made Simple is another alternative, it's a simple CMS my web design
friends used to rave about
http://www.cmsmadesimple.org

Really depends on your requirements and where you want to go with your
website.

Port80.asn.au would be another place to post on, not that i want you to
leave this list.

Ciao Paul Del
