I think I may have found the content management solution I’ve been looking for. I’ve wanted to revamp my main static site (www.astreetproductions.com) for a while. To that end, I’ve been learning a lot about CSS, XHTML, and PHP lately (a lot of which attracted me to creating a weblog in the first place).
I briefly considered doing a Brad Sucks-type thing through WordPress, but the more I look into it, the more work it seems that would take.
Enter Pages. To paraphrase The Dude, my thinking about this website had become very uptight, until I tried Pages. This thing is incredibly lean, and although it’s still in beta, it does what it says very well. There’s also an RSS feed-generating plugin (although the site seems to indicate it doesn’t work right yet). Yeeeaaah….
I’ll most likely keep WP for all my web journaling needs, but Pages looks like a keeper for static content like my “music” page.
I keep waiting for Matt Mullenweg to release his CMS. I want to see it.
I’m diggin’ the Textile support in Pages, too. Not that some of the code it replaces is all that complex, but it seems to flow a lot better than (X)HTML.
