SugarCRM Office Suite Review
I’m afraid this will not be a very complete review of the SugarCRM script, as it has way too many functions to be covered in just a few pages - you would need a small book for that!
This year has been a busy one for me, and as my business and personal projects have…

Though most geeks want very complex scripts with endless options there are those of us that just need something that simply works.
Minishowcase doesn’t have a backend so to create galleries you have to create a folder for each gallery section and then upload the images by FTP or use a…

I know I haven’t been active in quite a while but this is going to change folks!
I have transferred the site to Wordpress, as I feel this is an appropriately simple CMS for the job at hand. Drupal is still kind of awkward to operate and although it will still be my favorite I’d rather have something easy to use…
Read the rest...Lussumo Filebrowser Review
One aspect of the content management world that is, at least in my opinion, neglected too much is document/file management. Although we have modern content management systems almost all of these have no built-in document management capabilities like Drupal and Wordpress, or limited functionality like Joomla’s Media Manager.
Today we’ll be testing the Lussumo…

Drupal is one of the most powerful Content Management Systems on the web today: in terms of scalability, features, security and templating I found it to be the best CMS of all. Its flexibility allows you to create almost any type of site you would want: from a simple blog to…

Although it is a beta version, I am reviewing Joomla 1.5 because it has many improvements over the 1.0.x versions and even though it may still have some bugs Joomla 1.5 is here to stay!
Ahh, Joomla - my first CMS! Well, it was actually Mambo but Joomla is a fork…

When I first heard of MODx I was impressed by something: the developers claimed it is a true SEO (search engine optimization) CMS. Although something like 80% to 85% of SEO work is done off-site, a good CMS will allow you to make all the changes you need to the content…

Websites have always been used to pass on information and to educate their users - it was only natural that when content management systems appeared that some of them would have the special purpose of education.
ATutor is one of the most popular leaning management systems out on the net, so it’s worth taking…

Although Serendipity was first released about 2 years ago I didn’t really take notice of it until recently. And that’s too bad because I found it to be a very good blogging platform.
Serendipity requirements:
- Linux or Windows.
- Apache server with “AllowOverride All” set.
- PHP 4.3.0 or above (Serendipity is fully compatible with PHP…

Wordpress is the most used blogging platform in the world, and for a good reason: it’s easy to install, easy to use and is supported by a vibrant community that makes significat contributions. Many people use it to rant, blog about their passions or even run their online businesses.
I think most…
