Of course, Expression Engine isn't a freely available Open Source solution, you need to stump up the readies for it. But I recently did a bit of reading in order to find a CMS that could handle (initially) a basic blog and (later) whatever I wanted to throw at it, whilst being both web standards-friendly and design-malleable, and I also decided to opt for Expression Engine. I've barely had a chance to scratch the surface yet (other projects keep getting in the way -- curse those fee- paying clients!) but so far I've not seen anything that makes me regret my choice. And there is a free cut-down version available for those who's budgets are tighter. -- Rick Lecoat ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
