I would have to throw Drupal (<a href="http://drupal.org">drupal.org</a>) out there as well. In my opinion it is cleaner an dbetter designed than Joomla. I have used both but find myself leaning towards Drupal more often.
<br><br>Moodle really is a "course" management system. While it can be used for websites, it is not meant to be a content management system. <br><br>You will be happy with either Drupal or Joomla.<br><br>Check out
<a href="http://www.opensourcecms.com">www.opensourcecms.com</a> and you can try them out for yourslef without installing them.<br><br>Tim<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/5/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Robert Arkiletian

<div>If it's content management you need, I'd recommend Joomla -- and heartily. It is fantastic and the forums and such are great. I used it for our school site: <a href="http://www.stmaryswestville.com/school" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
