Oh yes, complaining is so easy ... so I keep going
So I stumbled across this article by Jeffrey Veen, which I think hits the nail on the head exactly where I felt it had to be hit! I am looking for a CMS for my own homepage for already about three months, I have tried several: Mambo, Contenido, Drupal, etc. (Typo3 is too difficult for me). But I didn't find the CMS where I simply install > create a page > write content > look at the page > create navigation and start at creating a page again. Or as Jeffrey says
I want to feel successful with your system within a few minutes
The CMS I want shall not bother me with any kind of slang
I don’t know what a portlet is. Or a component, module, block, or snippet. The last system I evaluated had something called “mambots” which, to me, sounded like robotic assistance for breast-feeding.
What it shall do is offer a simple start-here way, which leads me to my first page. May be using a wizard-like approach. Later on after I have been using some standard template, to at least look at my content, I might start modifying the layout and design. Thanks to JavaScript there would be so many possibilities to offer easy layout editing. Most people don't need much more than choosing from default pieces for their layout and adjusting the colors. At least I would be more than happy with that. You might say this is not CMS task anymore, I think it is, but that's another discussion.
I keep seaching, any hints?
