Wandering the CMS jungle

Authored by: Anonymous (Anonymous User) on Saturday, May 10 2003 @ 01:17 pm EDT

I think it depends on what your interest is in using a CMS. I bet the majority of those who like and use the XSilver theme or a derivative of it are running personal websites. Most of those running business, school, and professional sites steer clear of it.

When I first came here, I immediately left without even trying anything because the theme alone gave me a bad first impression. I needed a CMS for my brand new business and for some reason just one look at XSilver convinced me immediately no way would Geeklog ever fit the bill. Had I not read an article and the ensuing discussion on another site about different CMS' where some people posted positive comments about Geeklog's security system, I would not have come back for a second look and actually test drive it. I've been using it since and am very happy with the software.

If Geeklog wants to primarily cater to personal and hobby websites, the XSilver theme is okay. If they want to attract other groups, I agree with the author they need to change it.
