I use Mambo because you can change so much that you can turn it into a very personal look. Joomla is also just as good because it is basically the same thing.

I hear Mambo is an excellent CMS when it comes to managing websites, and I thought Nucleus CMS was more of a blog CMS than of a whole website.

For blog CMS's, I would recommend WordPress or MovableType.

When I found Mambo I stop of creating my own codes. Now I use the CMS to all my sites, just editing the templates and adapting the components and modules to my needs (however, almost all your needs are covered for the existing components).
Previously, I tried PHPNuke, but I found it so complicated that I preferred to use my own codes.

I'm not a huge fan of CMS's. I have always sort of felt that by using a CMS you end up having a site that looks like someone else's. Guess in reality that doesn't have to be that way if you spent time on customizing the templates, etc. But then again I'd rather spend that time creating my own code.

Anyways for blog I have used WordPress which is really neat system and seems to be constantly improving.

Xoops and Mambo are my favorite Content Management Systems.
You can adapt booth systems like you want.

Blogger is decent if you don't mind having ads on your blog. But I hear MT is good and the newest version (3.1) has just been released. I don't use a CMS but I hear MT is good.

same here. and agreed. i think i prefer designing and creating my own websites. sometimes CMSs make things more complicated than they need to be.

and yeah, MT is excellent! the installation part was a hefty bit to get through for me, mostly because the installation instructions weren't written well. but that was MT 3.0, maybe 3.1 has changed.

i don't use any content management system. I usually buy the pre-built template and edit it to become my site. It will save more time and site look much professional. Just my 2 cents. I don't change any color structure once the site is done. No need to use cms.

well i have tried almost every cms out there and have enjoyed joomla, drupal and wordpress (as a cms) the best...

Although Wordpress is meant for blogging i think it is super easy to make it a cms with all the plug-ins and extensions wordpress supplies. It is easy to use and a wonder to look at but i just didn't find it was a strong enough cms for me to use although i recommend this.

Drupal was nice and really powerful. I like this probably the best out of all of them but the templates available severely let me down. I would say that it may be a tad bit confusing for some although but most cms are. Although once you know what you are doing your gonna find it great!

Joomla is the one i am using now and i would probably draw a line level with drupal on this one but it has the best range of templates a cms can ask for. But there are some features Drupal have which Joomla doesnt but i just work around it. Joomla is really easy to install also and very easy to get around. I find the extensions library as a major factor i am using this as well. I recommend this as well. Although some knowledge of css, php and the general site stuff wouldn't hurt.

I vote Joomla!

Am currently using Wordpress as my cms/portal/front page but it inst really classified as one but you sure can make it like one. I have used many cms software and have liked joomla but i gave it a miss in the end as it was a tad bit difficult to use. I then tried a lot of other ones including xoops which i didn't like and drupal which wasn't letting me install it.

After reading some of this thread i decided to have a look at mambo as before i didn't bother but it looks alright..

Among the all CMS scripts available Drupal is the best. Drupal is faster, advanced, flexible, simple and version 6 onwards more easier too.

Now it is very easy to create theme in dupal using dreamweaver extension

Drupal is the opensource CMS supported by a company.

the only criticism faced by drupal is its user interface, whish will be overcome by version 7 to be released jan 2009
