Still Not Having Any Luck

Posted on July 30, 2008 6:59 pm

…with finding myself a new CMS to replace the newest oh-so-bloated-and-almost-ripped-at-the-seams Wordpress 2.6. There’s always Chyrp, lightweight indeed but I hate the fact that you have to install some modules to do some basic functions such as cutting your posts with “read more” and having a commenting system. I also wish that it had more extensions.

Then, there’s Textpattern. I’ve tried this before and I’m quite satisfied with it. However, making static pages is quite a hassle and I simply do not have the time at the moment to go through this long process of making article forms link to page templates and making page templates link to sections. *sigh* The preview-before-submitting rule may also be a bit confusing for some visitors.

I could also consider Expression Engine but it’s also too bloated for me and isn’t bloat the thing I was avoiding in the first place?

Any recommendations?

Is It Worth It?

Upon logging in into the admin panel today, I see a strip on top of every page saying “WordPress 2.6 is available! Please update now.” Some of you may have already upgraded, some of you may haven’t.

I know that I’ve ranted quite recently about how Wordpress was being so bloated. However, I’ve been too much of busy nowadays to switch CMSs (which will probably explain the six blogless days).

So, is it worth the upgrade?
