Choosing a Content Management System (CMS)

January 4th, 2008

It is undeniable that choosing a content management system depends on a variety of criteria that depends on the scope of your project. Choosing a CMS can be a long and difficult process, especially since there is a large number of content management systems available. In Europe alone, you have around 500 systems to choose from. Some of these CMS solutions are very similar and comparing them will require taking hundreds of variables into consideration.

My Wiki Quandry

January 2nd, 2008

I’ve owned a wiki website that ran the WikiMedia engine (as does WikiPedia.org) for over a year. Over that year, I modified the wiki skin (i.e. theme) and added Google Adsense ad units. I also added some JavaScript code and invested time in learning the wiki syntax. I created many regular plain wiki pages and other colorful pages with tables and templates. I also wrote help documents explaining the wiki syntax and went further by creating a page that users could use to easily create new page/articles by simply typing in a text box and clicking a button.

I have recently decided to abandon using a wiki and instead to use a CMS solution.
