Textpattern and the art of CMS design

No comments
Phew a new post after such a long time. It has been a long time i have blogged. So here it goes. This post is about TextPattern. A PHP MySQL based CMS.

I was searching for a simple, elegant and unobtrusive CMS for my personal site. I dutifully headed to opensourcecms.com for seeing the latest and greatest PHP powered CMSes but sadly none of them fitted the bill for me. I was amazed by the bloat and stupidity of those CMSes.

Thats when i remembered about textpattern. I had known it existed for quite a while but never had the time to take it for a ride. Now that i have done it i am quite happy with it and it seems natural to me. I have added one WYSIWYG plugin and an admin theme. Now i am good to go. More to come later.
