What software powers your websites/blogs/review sites/etc

[schizoid]

Movable Type? Postnuke? Tiki? Nothing but good ol' hand-generated HTML links? Something else? Custom coded PHP/CGI? A number of ferrets on mescaline?

Just wondering what all you wonderful people in ATOT use to power your sites.

MT is garbage, I use bblog, of course their dev team seems to have died or something... they were supposed to release 0.7 and all the sudden their dev blog went down.

GottaDeal.com - custom job

OpenSourceCMS.com is a great resource for CMS portals.

 

[WannaFly]

Exilum.com - Custom coded CMS, from scratch, by yours truely
IAmflying.com - All one HTML page now, but will soon unveil the php coded CMS

I tried MT, hated it
postnuke/phpnuke is a joke for any reputable site

mambo open source

<edit>
eh, I guess I should link to where I use it too: www.fiestyturtles.com

still pretty young site with not much stuff on it though. I'm pretty much just learning as I go, but I liked the setup of mambo the best.

I've been checking out opensourcecms for awhile now. Every time I try a new CMS it seems like it has some great features, but it just doesn't do something that I want. Mambo looks slick, but seems underpowered. Xaraya has the freakin best article system (which is important, seeing as that's gonna be the guts of the damn site) but doesn't seem to support photo gallerys or file submissions. Tiki does it all, but is slow, unwieldy (it seems) and has mediocre article support (if it had the Xaraya article system, it'd be a slam dunk since Tiki has really nice file and photo gallery systems built in).

I've looked at the nuke systems, but when you go to www.phpnuke.com and can't even navigate THAT, maybe it's not the best system out there.

Sigh.

:-(

Seems like I spoke too soon. It has addons for a gallery and a "download manager". Hmmm....

I'll probably try and write one for my own site myself, as a programming exercise this summer, to keep in shape

Where can you get some good templates for bblog? I like the looks of it.

Using drupal (drupal.org)

I've been using PHPNuke for http://troy.fisher-fam.org
I didn't like PHPNuke at first glace, but it seemed to be the most robust and customizable, and once I started using it, I really grew to like it.

As brother schizoid pointed out, there are many good CMS progs, but they all seem to be lacking SOMETHING. I felt the PHP-Nuke had the best foundation for adding custom modules when necessary.
