I spent part of the weekend clearing my emails.  Ron Moravek sent me an email about his company's all-inclusive Sitemasher.

Hello, we are a relatively new product that includes both a professional design tool and a full featured CMS. We would like to get evaluated when you get a moment....:)

Ron, to be honest, I have quite a few CMS related articles to write about and I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to review your Sitemasher.  However, this is a good chance to give readers the opportunity to hear more about Sitemasher.  From the overview page:

A complete website solution. One online platform.

Website builder + content management + analytics + search engine optimization + managed hosting!

Sitemasher provides a fully managed, hosted website solution that seamlessly integrates a website building and publishing environment, a content management system (CMS), analytics, and search engine optimization (SEO)…all within a single platform. 

More details about the features of the Sitemasher platform.

It is that time of year again!  I want to change the look and feel here at CMSReport.com.  My current theme, LiteJazz from RoopleTheme, has served me well this past year.  I'm now looking for a theme that provides two columns to the right of the body (content on the left side).  Something along the lines of the contributed Drupal theme Marinelli is what I'm seeking.

If you have a good suggestion for a Drupal 6 theme that you think would be perfect for this site, please leave your suggestion as a comment or contact me. Also, if you are a theme designer, you're welcome to take this opportunity to advertise your product (within moderation of course).  I'd prefer a free theme for my site but I'm always open to a quality theme at the right price.

"Working in a garage-based company that's looking to create its first killer Web site? Or maybe you're toiling in the bowels of a behemoth corporation, wondering why you're mired in an old-fashioned, "waterfall" software-development process when all you wanna do is board that Web 2.0 train, and quickly. Well, I've got the answer for you, and it's called Joomla."

Following the latest release of Drupal 6 in February 2008, Packt Publishing is pleased to announce an update to David Mercer’s best selling Drupal 4.7 book. Building powerful and robust websites with Drupal 6 is as much of an overhaul of the original book as Drupal 6 is over Drupal 4.7.

Drupal is a hugely popular and widely celebrated open-source Content Management System that is day-by-day becoming the first choice of people for building blogs and other websites. Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Hillary Clinton, and many others utilize Drupal to fulfil their online requirements.

The updated book meets the booming demand for well presented, clear, concise, and above all practical information on how to move from establishing the need for a website all the way through to designing and building it like a pro, and finally successfully managing and maintaining it.

"Church websites have come a long way in the past decade. They've gone from being an ugly after thought in the church to something with some importance and style. You can plainly see this on Church Relevances list of the top 75 church websites. As community trends have grown the church has embraced them...We are now in another technological and paradigm shift that is offering up an opportunity for us re-think our church websites. Over the next several posts here let's do just that. To start this off we need to take stock of where we are at with our church websites."

to write a multilingual web application. The majority of my code these
days is PHP, but I think these tips are applicable to most web programming languages."

A couple days ago, a fantastic video giving an overview of Drupal was made available at Drupal.org.  I was impressed enough with the video that I thought it was worth mentioning here.  While the video gets technical, but I think anyone who has interest in content management applications (most of my site visitors) should be able to follow along just fine.
