how to make a website where people can post

Hi all,
I need to make a website where people can post aritcles and stuff. Is there any tool available for making one.
If anyone know similar kind of website please share the link.
Thanks in advance

 

I think Wordpress is the best tool for that

 

Seems like most people think that wordpress is the answer for everything. It's not. It is a blog engine that has been dolled up with plugins.

For an application such as this, you would be better off looking at a package that is built specifically to handle large amounts of content: a Content Management System (CMS).

Some examples of popular CMSs are:

• PHP
  • Joomla
  • Drupal
  • PHP-Nuke
  • phpWiki
  • Serendipity
• ASP.Net
  • DotNetNuke
  • mojoPortal
  • Umbraco

All these are open source, and easily installed. While you *can* make Wordpress work as a content management system, it'll become a messy maze of plugins and junk that will do nothing but slow your site down. Leave the blog engine to bloggers and use a CMS for managing your content.

 

@dwirch you say
"While you *can* make Wordpress work as a content management system, it'll become a messy maze of plugins and junk that will do nothing but slow your site down."

I think you know its a most popular CMS all over the world. But you told if wordpress and use plugin site will be slow down. It's not true. You can't blame wordpress as like this. Wordpress Backend is easier then any other CMS. And its documentation is vary vary strong then other CMS and documentation starts with beginners and high level developer. But other CMS don't have this kind of documentation.

So @sourabhkejriwal i think you have to use wordpress and it best which purpose you want to use.

 

If you are just starting out Wordpress is going to be the easiest to use.

A lot of the other CMS programs are not really that user friendly for beginners.

 

@saikakhulna:

Would you take an engine from a Yugo and put into a Ferrari, and expect to drive the vehicle at 197 mph ? The Yugo engine wasn't built for speed, it was built for economy. With add-ons, you can make the engine go faster, at the expense of economy (gas mileage).

If you want to drive that fast, just buy the Ferrari, and you won't need to install bolt-ons, etc.

It's the same with Wordpress (or any blogging platform really, I'm not trying to pick on wordpress). It was not purpose built for content management, it was built as a blog engine. By adding the bolt-ons (plugins), the integrity of the engine degrades.

The OP described a content management system. He wants to drive fast, right away. Why would he want to go through hassle of finagling a pile of plugins to get the functionality he wants, when a true CMS (or even forum software) will do exactly what he wants, right out of the box ?

 

Wordpress is best and more easy to use!

 

You can simple use wordpress and there is one or the other kind of plugin available for wordpress where you can create forum kind of thing - or question and answer kind of thing.

I hope it helps...

 

Wordpress will be good option. Use Forum plugin.

 

@dwirch

I like your answer.
You think differently, i like that.
But your example is not good. Because if you want you can't update Ferrari as your wish and Engine example is not a good example for my given answer topic.
Just one thing if you see the answer in this topic you see all of them talk about wordpress excerpt you.
Why is all of them are foll or they don't know anything?
