Re: Is Textpattern right for me?
If I were you I’d download and use an existing theme, and develop the site as you want it to function and then develop you own theme when the functionality is in place.
My experiences with other solutions, like Mambo, phpNuke, Typo3, etc, have been that they SEEM to be so out of the box, but in the end they give plenty of headaches…
Mambo… It looks so sleak, but all of a sudden you find yourself ending up with some weird bug that seems impossible to solve, and the Mambo code makes it very hard to solve.

Re: Is Textpattern right for me?
Hmmmmm, I just had a look at http://www.cmsmatrix.org/matrix and compared Nucleus, Mambo and Drupal. Drupal is a clear winner for me, so I’ll be trying this over the next few weeks.
Thanks for the advice everyone.

Why oh why after all this time Textpattern is still not in CMS Matrix?
According to their About info, the makers of a given system need to put in the word. I recommend CMS matrix to people all the time, just like Textpattern, so this is a significant gap in the ability to compare the product effectively.

Well, it is at opensourcecms.com, so there is a demo to see what it can do out of the box.

Re: Is Textpattern right for me?
CMS Matrix seems to be a bit behind the times, at OpenSourceCMS we try to keep all the sytems updated.
As for what system is best, it depends on the site you want to create. No system fits us all nor will it fit every task at hand. From Typo3 down to CMS Made Simple, they all fill a niche and if nothing else makes each system strive to be better.
