JimmyInMD Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I've been searching for over an hour now for a simple news system. I want the admin of my site to be able to post the news articles to a database with various editing/image. I'll retrieve the news on MY page for display. It would be nice to have a news poster profile setup with images, but it's not necessary. And most importantly, I need this to be FREE! Is there anything out there? PLEASE HELP!!

JimmyInMD Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 There are tons of free CMS out there. Joomla, Wordpress, etc. Thanks! I'm checking out Wordpress right now. This will be easy to integrate into my site? I don't want WordPress to be all over the place. Ya know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkyIS Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 i have installed/used Wordpress on a variety of sites and find it to be very flexible as far as integration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyInMD Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 i have installed/used Wordpress on a variety of sites and find it to be very flexible as far as integration. Hmm... I guess I also need categories for the news items. I've already setup this, so all I really need is an easy way to allow formatting of the news stories and the ability to easily add images. Wordpress seems to be overkill for what I'm doing, and cutenews doesn't have news categories (that I can see). Thanks for the help, and keep helping!

Actually cutenews does have categories, but doesn't write to a database (that I can tell). So I just need a simple editor like the on most forums.

JimmyInMD Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 Anyone know of a "lighter" solution? That's easy to integrate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
