CMS and blogs-
One of the
biggest changes in recent years is the ability of the
average citizen to edit the contents of their web pages
without needing to know html.
The applications which deliver that
access are services like Blogger, Word Press, Drupal,
and a host of other on-line tools and programs that
offer out of the box installations with user friendly
interfaces.
The pages come with standard templates,
but if you want to change the appearance, most of the
systems include multiple “skins” and on-line
plug-ins.
Depending on your level of comfort
with setting up php pages / mysql databases, you can
do it yourself. Or for a fairly reasonable price have
someone install and edit the template so that it has
individualized style and colors. Most template skins
include contact information for the designer. Once the
basic set-up is in place, the content on the page can
be changed with no more difficulty than you experience
using a word editor.
Some systems focus on creating blogs,
some allow other categories of content. The "right"
one to choose depends on what level of complexity you
need, how many users, your purpose, and what types of
plug ins you want to use.
The applications linked from this
page are developed with difference CMS, and contain
simple demo content, so that some of the differences
between the programs are more obvious. If you are interested
in developing a site that uses CMS, check over the samples
