Male - ChristianRecommend me a CMS!
I've got a domain and a hosting plan (with PHP and MySQL) and it's time to use it for anything other than hosting holiday photos.
I'm going to put an instance of Wordpress on it, just to play around with, but ultimately, I'd like to put a CMS up there rather than faff around with static pages.
What would you recommend as a starting point? I am technical and will be up for getting under the hood, but for my first foray, I'd need something pretty user friendly.
Lets stick with free/open source for now. Not averse to paying for the right package in future once I find my feet.

I've found something cool called XAMPP which I'm using as an offline sandbox for playing with CMS made simple.

Jnthn, I'd like to help, but I don't know what the acronym CMS stands for....
"Christianity," says Bishop Wilson, "inscribes on the portal of her dominion 'Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in nowise enter therein.' Christianity does not profess to convince the perverse and headstrong, to bring irresistible evidence to the daring and profane, to vanquish the proud scorner, and afford evidences from which the careless and perverse cannot possibly escape. This might go to destroy man's responsibility. All that Christianity professes, is to propose such evidences as may satisfy the meek, the tractable, the candid, the serious inquirer." http://www.woundedheart.org/sgtestimony.htm

Heh. It stands for "Content Management System". It's an alternative way of creating a website as opposed to creating a flat-file structure. Originally posted by LostSheep

I found Drupal to be easy to install but I've heard many complaints it's hard to install so
XAMPP is great.I've found something cool called XAMPP which I'm using as an offline sandbox for playing with CMS made simple.

Drupal's probably the only CMS I could namecheck, but I didn't want to default to it.

I use Joomla for about all of my sites. Never had any problems and easy to use.
