i'm looking for something, and it's a difficult thing to search for, so i thought i'd ask plug.
i want to build a simple website that is made up of articles in a single level hierarchy. these articles should be easy to create and edit (where 'easy' means something like a wiki markup language). example: Toast and Pancakes Website Tutorials - tutorial on making toast - tutorial on making pancakes Photographs - article with pancake photos in it - 18th century pancake photos - ancient egyptian toast photos History - history of toast - another toast history article - history of pancakes that's kind of all i'm looking for. i just want a "website in a box" that is bonehead simple to maintain and add things to. like i want to be able to add a new article on pancake history in 5 seconds, with pictures and links and stuff. things that i don't think will work: - blog software. blogs are linear journals. yes, blog entries can be grouped into a single level hierarchy, but it's still a blog and they all look very "bloggy". - wiki software. the closest thing i could find is tiddlywiki - it's very *simple* which is good, but it's very non-SEO friendly, it's just one big javascript thing and very non-webby (eg. your browser back button doesn't do anything. feels weird.) the thing blog and wiki software have in common is that they are bone-head simple to add content too. that's really good, but there must be a generic website software that does the same thing, right? then there are like 5 millions CMS software packages - but geesh, what a mess that is. any ideas? or do i have to built it myself (which i really, really, really don't want to have to do - i'm a lousy web dev and it doesn't sound fun at all.) /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
