Looking for a script for article posting..?

Post by chancebanning »

Hey, sorry if the answer to my question could have been easily found through a search, or if I'm in the wrong forum, but I don't know what kind of script this would be called - I tried article scripts, but seems like what I was finding (ie, articledashboard) is something completely different? I only venture into the world of scripting a few times a year usually and never get that far, so each time it's almost like a new learning process for me while I get my head back into it.

What I want to do is post articles on my website. Articles would be text and image based - not sure exactly how I want to incorporate the pics, but I was thinking maybe either right in the articles along with the text, or off to the side in a column and referenced by number - either way, I'd like to use thumbnails that, ideally, are shown full size over the page when clicked. I'm flexible here though. The articles would be mostly DIYs for stuff, nothing fancy at all.

The ability for users to post comments as well would be a big plus, but I wouldn't be fussy about that either.

It would be nice if the script also organized the entries by title on a page of my choosing, sorted however. Alternatively I'd be willing to just write it out myself in basic html.

As for actually posting these articles/DIYs/stories/whatever, I'd really like an easy to use control panel (?) I can log in through my site to use and post from.

So.. anyone have any recommendations for a script? Preferably free, but I'd be willing to pay a little if it's worth it. Thanks guys-

This may be over kill for what you want to do but try an open source CMS system like Joomla, or Mambo.
