List of Open Source/PHP CMS

Terry Apodaca — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 01:21:50 +0000

I’ve seen a few recent blogs ask where are all the good PHP and/or Open Source CMSs? I’ve even seen a few touch the surface of this subject: The Great CMS Roundup, Judging Five Open Source CMS. EDIT: and Matt has pointed me to a nice site that might list just about all of them: http://php.opensourcecms.com/

I am not going to do a ‘Roundup’ because I am not going to review every single one of them. I am not going to even list features, nor am I going to show what each one supports. All I want to do is put together a nice LIST of all the PHP based CMSs out there…so please, if I missed one that you know of…leave a comment for me.

Here is your list, in no particular order other than by maybe popularity and my personal preference. It can be argued between Joomla, WordPress and Drupal about which is in the lead….but either way…here they are:

I will be adding to this, if/when someone suggests another one because I know there are hundreds of them out there. So keep this bookmarked!

CSS Frameworks

Some people can master it. Some people know only enough to get a simple style set on an HTML element. Then there are some people that just don’t have the time, so they look to something that can help speed up the development process…just like most other programming languages. This brings up the notion of a Framework where the developer can just plug into an already built Style Sheet and make his/her changes as needed.

I’ve been compiling lists in my Firefox bookmarks for years, so now it’s time to place some of the most common (and not so common) in a list on here so that the many others can reference to.

This is a slim list so far as many people are not ready to release an official Framework classification for their CSS. I don’t, but I do use the same setup across most of my projects.

If you see one that is not on this list, please let me know and I’ll keep an updated and continuous list of these much like I have done with my preferred free software post. I’d love to hear what you all have to say about these as well.

LinkedIn Copied?

I don’t write about many of these things, like when Simplebits (Dan) had their logo ripped off, or when The City Church got it’s design stolen. But this time I haven’t seen anyone write about it.

I was perusing a couple sites that had information on being a professional blogger or just ways to make money at home and off the internet. Come on, who doesn’t want their own home based business and the opportunity to work for themself!!!

Anyway, this is what I came across:

Hey! Who’s that handsome man in that profile?

And then here’s the thief:

And it’s ironic, don’t you think? Why Do Work when you can copy someone else’s stuff? Hmmmm…

Going Pink For October

Not completely. Just adding a few ‘pink’ things to my site for the month of October to help support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Pink For October.

It’s a little early, but I am not sure I would make the 1st. If you want to know more about this…click one of the links above or you can read more about it at Patrick Haney‘s website too.
