    All I basically want it to is manage my content! I just want to make the site have pages and subpages, and a good admin cp. What is a good cms for this. I see all these systems like Joomla that have all these fancy features - which I do not need.

    Is there anything simple out there? :confused:

    Yeah, I will probably use wordpress if I can't find anything else. The problem is that wordpress doesn't do sub pages. If you try to do sub-pages they will show up even if you don't go to the parent page.


    Hope that makes sense

    I like Drupal. It has lots of plug in modules which you can add. Some find the taxonomy structure confusing though.
    Wordpress is really just a blogging software and not a true CMS though they are adding more and more plugins.
    Joomla or Mambo is nice but loads slowly.
    e107 is ugly.

    This site also has lite CMS's at the bottom of the nav menu. They are simple and most require no mysql db. This means for you easy to manage and setup.

    Sorry to jump here, but what do you mean by that ?
    I was exactly looking for pages/subpages and didn't realize wordpress has it.

    Now, I have some minutes playing with it and it seems I see the root pages links on the main pages and subpages are hidden.
    I don't understand that of "they will show up even if you don't..."

    CMS Made Simple is great. I use it for almost everything now, and would recommend it for anything other than blogging.

    On of the lesser know, but has a lot of features right out of the box.

    Just check out http://www.php-fusion.co.uk
    Or try out a few on http://www.opensourcecms.com

    This is a online demo site where you can work at the frontend AND the backend to try and see if it works for you.

    demo's are reset every two hours.
