I would just wipe out the whole site and do a Drupal CMS, if that's what we're looking for. We can add blogs to the Drupal system, and do a custom theme to be similar to what we have. I would, however, prefer to install Drupal manually, as the ones that tend to be in hoster panels tend to be pretty outdated. On which note, who has installed/run MediaWiki? > I did, albeit breifly. Found it too big for the purpose I wanted. I can look at restricting access though. #Terin On Mon, May 18, 2009 at 9:43 AM, Brian McNeil <[email protected]>wrote: > Are any of these content management systems worth looking at? > > > > https://hostingconnection.godaddy.com/AllApplications.aspx?id=8 (apart > from those with a $ next to them).
