I could do with some help / opinions / advice regarding the use of CMS - at the moment, I'm boggled. I've been trying to read up on them, but I feel like I'm in information overload right now. :stu
I've been trying to build a site using Drupal but I'm finding it too difficult to use - it seems you need to be really tech. savvy to understand what it can do so as to get the most out of it?
ops
Also, I really don't need a "news" feed type of article layout: content needs to be static, pretty much.
The site itself will just have the logo top centre; a nav. bar on the left hand side so that people can then select the articles they want to read: so, we're talking very basic stuff here. At least until I can figure out what I am doing and can make the time to learn more about this stuff. :fall
My strengths lie in content writing, not in coding. I need something that will be:
1) free
2) easy to use
3) allows me to "publish" content with no hassle; and which can handle images too.
4) needs to be able to run on an ancient win98 system (so, the "smaller" the better really, if that makes sense?)
5) can run on an apache server. (I have a URL already; a friend agreed to "host" (?) it for me on their server.
6) isn't loaded with spyware; or makes you display advertising.
7) I don't need it to have user accounts; or a message board: not at this moment in time, anyway.
Can anyone help?
