    […] I started out looking for a Content Management System (CMS) to move the websites I manage to– in case “the bus gets me tomorrow” and ended up opening up more doors than I knew existed!  But the journey was fun and I am excited about all the possibilities!  The main advantage of a CMS is that the website content can be edited and added to by anyone with permission and eliminates the need for the webmaster (me ) to have to make small changes.  Good for you and me!  As I found out, there are many CMS and as many ways to use them.  The most popular ones are Open Source and include the following:  CMS http://plone.org/ http://www.joomla.org/ http://drupal.org/ http://www.opensourcecms.com/ WIKKI Another popular website format is the Wikki and is a popular way for companies to share information within teams and workgroups.  Social Text is a good example and you can listen to a podcast from the creator and Robert Scoble (of Microsoft blogging fame and now a member of www.podtech.com  http://scobleizer.com) to see how it can be used.  http://www.podtech.net/scobleshow/technology/1255/inside-the-first-wiki-company-socialtext […]
