You can try Pico as CMS and Bootstrap to build a template.
It is very simple and you don't need a big knowledge about programming/design.
EDIT: Pico works out of box. But, if you want to build a good template (what I think you don't need), you can use Bootstrap that is VERY EASY to work and build responsive themes (if you want, of course).
just use wordpress and downgrade the default theme, don't be a partypooper.
Listen buddy... Just because you've seen me driving that every time I go grocery shopping doesn't mean you have to make fun of me about it on a public forum! I'll have you know, it gets the job done.
best thing is take a shared hosting, install FLATPRESS and get going
its much easier than wordpress
nothing as per me would be simpler than flatpress.
and later if you wish, may be you can try a self hosted wordpress...
AnchorCMS is good too
PivotX
CMSimple
SkyBlue
GuppY web portal without mysql
BTW jhadley Loading Deck Ltd with Apache 2 Test Page
Chyrp, very light-weighted. But development is slow.
BTW, Blite.ca is parked now
www.pluck-cms.org is very simple and lightweight, does not use a database.
For pure blogging I'm starting to like Ghost, tried it only briefly and found a like for it, for sure. But since I don't have a lot of time to write, it's not really for me. In any case, it is quite light on resources too.
My test instance is at https://ghost.k0nsl.org. The system runs Apache2, nginx, node, forever, ircd, redis, postfix and draws a total of 433 mb as I write this. Oh, and it runs Centos 6.4 (x64).
It was also very easy to set it up, and there's a bunch of themes available in the Ghost marketplace, or you can design your own - the theme structuring looks to be very organized towards simplicity.
For everything else, I mostly recommend WordPress - works great when you have it all optimized, and with modifications. Heh, it works good without it too, I suppose
In fact, I'm using Pico CMS. Seems that is what I was looking for: something SIMPLE. I have made Facebook comments for it
So what happened to blite @sleddog?
What about s9y.org ?
The domain was attacked/abused constantly. Guess someone doesn't like me. I don't have the time to deal with that shit (for a hobby project) so I dropped it. The code is safe.
@sleddog so no more Dev on blite then?
I won't be doing any in the foreseeable future. I've been laid off from my dayjob and I'm starting my own business. Hobby coding is pretty far down the priority list
If anyone wants a blite tarball I can make it available.
Can you PM me a tar ball? (Thanks Vanilla for the broken quote)
go with ghost blogging platform
@toshost While I really like Ghost, it's missing a comments section (easily added with Diqus) and multi-author support. Once these two features are added, then Ghost will be perfect in my eyes. (I'm using ghost right now).
Just got invited for Ghost today... May have to mess around.
Ghost looks pretty nice and simple. Give that a try.
