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?"

    I know it's not free, but they make it pretty brainless for anyone to set up a site.

    you could try them with a MoveableType .. or if not .. try a Livejournal .. They're just the two ideas that would be pretty simple .. oh and hacking up a php or perl site with really really simple input wouldn't be too hard either.

    They were designed specifically for this problem. Of course, you need a mac...

    Interestingly enough, I'm an idiot, I didn't read all of the posting before I posted the parent. What my brother made was a web app allowing people to post and manage gift lists (i.e. christmas/birthday gift lists).

    Sorry, I'm stupid!
