Let's start with the obvious: using one icon will always be better than writing many words. That's a well-known fact. The visual representation of a concept is assimilated more easily by the humain brain. Thus, icons remain the most effective way to symbolize actions, contexts or messages.

When it comes to design of modern web-applications, Ajax is considered as a standard approach. Interactive solutions for lightboxes, form validation, navigation, search, tooltips and tables are developed using Ajax libraries and nifty Ajax scripts. Ajax is useful and powerful. However, when using Ajax, one should keep in mind its drawbacks in terms of usability and accessibility. With an extensive use of Ajax, you can easily confuse your visitors offering too much control and too many features.

There'll be no more CMS articles this week, because of a stupid accident that resulted in a twisted ankle, an unexpected appointment with a radiologist and a lot of wasted time. Doh! The last platform on our list, Xoops, will be reviewed next monday.
Sorry for that, folks.

When you take a "forty-thousand feet" look at the open-source CMS products, you can rapidly identify two big categories. On one side, you find the lightweight and the middle-class clients with the basic content management features that will satisfy 90% of the users. On the other side, you find some heavy contenders, loaded with tons of functionalities and enough horsepower to fuel a large corporation's information framework. Today's candidate, CMS made simple (CMSMS, in short), belongs to the first category, and does its job pretty well.

Inspiration (ĭn'spe-rā'shun): a) Stimulation of the mind or emotions to a high level of feeling or activity. b) The condition of being so stimulated by an external source. There's a tight line between inspiration and imitation. Inspiration means captivate an idea and develop it further. Imitation means identify an idea and use it.

Here we are at the dawn of a new week. Today is tuesday (yesterday was an official day off in Belgium, hence the "no article" article...), and we start the second half of our 10-article series over open-source CMSes. Last week, we've been through Joomla!, Drupal, Typo3, DotClear, TextPattern and Plone. This week, we have 5 more platforms to review, and we'll start by MODx.
