The Greatest CMS of all time!

The Greatest CMS of all time!:

I’ve been using Symphony CMS for years. It’s the most flexible CMS I’ve ever run across. Also, it has the greatest community that surrounds this project.

The Declaration of Independence, Rendered with CSS3 and @font-face:

This is quite an amazing display of CSS3 font-face usage while highlighting an amazing document!

The markup is fairly clean, but still somewhat presentational. On the whole, however, this is nicely executed.

Finding new appreciation for the Symphony

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 20:36:00 -0400

After years and years of looking at a myriad of content managements systems from Textpattern to Expression Engine, back to Textpattern to Wordpress, back to Textpattern, and other CMSs… all the while keeping a watchful eye on small little standards-based XML/XSLT powered CMS called Symphony. About two years ago, I jumped solely on the Symphony train and haven’t looked back. It’s worth it.

Symphony continues to blow me away by it’s flexibility, it’s power, and it’s community. The negatives with the system now is mainly the lack of documentation (which is a continued process to get that up and running). Even with a lack of documentation, it’s amazingly helpful community helps you to get past the documentation, because they in a sense serve as documentation.

My brain is a little jumbled at this time… more to post later.

In the following weeks, I’m going to post some basic XSLT tutorials (or that’s my hope).
