Favourite Publishing tool?

Sono Juventino · 02-09-2008, 09:00 AM

I would like your opinion on what publishing tool you like the most. Pretty much everyone has heard about Wordpress, but are there other gems out there?

What I'm using:
I've been at Wordpressuser for a long time, but suddenly, I discovered Textpattern, and fell in love. Textpattern is a nice, small publishing tool with great image handling. Wordpress lacks the possibility for adding an article image, or to make the same image a tumbnail.

Which Cms do you perferm and why?

I would say WordPress, because its an industry standard and there is a lot of support for it and tons of plugins that can help your site immensely.

I would have to say WordPress too. It was easy for me to set up (only took a few minutes) and after it was set up it looked professional. Once i get a host and domain, wordpress will have even more options.

Wordpress is really great, but I really miss some good image-handling. Adding a field ofr article-image with the choice of full/tumbnail-version would've done it in my case.

Altought, I would like to try even more systems out there. I've heard good things about Expression Engine, Movable Type, etc, but Textpattern really appeals to me cause it only exists of 150 files. It's therefore very quick to get up and running.

Ill check that out sometime. Could you provide the link or is it just www.textpattern.com?

That's right. I would also recomend http://forum.textpattern.com/, as they have extreamly good and nice support. They've helped me through loads of design problems.

I'm currently using sNews, a small light weight(1 PHP file) CMS. I love it more because it's open source and super easy to integrate into any design you have.

Thanks, polorix. I'll give it a shot.
