How to Set Up a Gift Website?

Posted by michael on from the don't-look-it-in-the-mouth dept.

falzbro writes "I'm considering giving my parents their very own website for the holidays. However, it's harder than anticipated to find any type of Content Management System whose intended audience is a computer illiterate family. I personally use Drupal for content and Gallery for photo albums, and frankly can't stand PHPNuke. The only features required would be a blog of sorts and a photo album. I can't be the first one in this predicament, can I?"

    you won't have the vanity of familysmith.com, but if your parents have a macintosh, iPhoto does makes web photo journals nice and easy.

    Do you even lift?

    These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.

    Get them an iMac with a .Mac account. It handles all your needs :)

    Jeez, what is PHPnuke doing mentioned in this post?
    Phpnuke is "a news automated system specially designed to be used in Intranets and Internet. The Administrator has total control of his web site, registered users, and he will have in the hand a powerful assembly of tools to maintain an active and 100% interactive web site using databases."
    So it isn't a wiki, it isn't a CMS, and it certainly isn't a blog. It's an open source project loosely based on the /. concept.
    Bashing PHPnuke in this post sounds too stupid to be true, it's like bashing MySQL for not being a good word processor.
