Wordpress is a blogging software – but it can be used as a CMS too – try it out.

I have not used Wordpress. I always thought it was a blogging CMS. Is it really in between Drupal and jus5?

Aha, thanks I will check it out.

So far I found a few lightweight CMSs, Yours, leCMS and sNews. sNews is slightly more what I am looking for but is a snarled mess of code since they jam it all into 1 file with no commenting or space – suppose to be an advantage. I don’t get it.

Yeah – I think categories is what you are looking for.

And if you need something more than Jus5 and something less than Drupal, I can recommend WordPress.

Does jus5 have any menu features or do you just create your menu bar in the template with hard coded links? Would be nice to have some menu structure attached to the content.

I have used Drupal now for two websites. I think Drupal is way more then I need for smaller projects. Hence for my search for a super simple CMS that does the basics.

I thing jus5 may be too simple actually for my needs.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean by menu system.

Hi,

I have been looking at your jus5 cms. I am interested in a lightweight easy to understand and ‘push around’ cms.

Seems to me that the biggest item is missing is a menu system although perhaps this is your intent with categories?

I the final result was not what I wanted – but for other people, it might be good enough. Try it.

Dude, I’ll give it a try… I know a few people that want simple websites, that are easy to manage and this sounds just right… Can you just elaborate on the “It is also a total failure” piece… so I know what I’m running into!
