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.

QUOTE 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. 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.

I haven't used any CMS's myself, but here is a page with quite a few listed, with a short description. Perhaps it will help
