[HLUG] Looking for CMS system

[Alex Mace]

Hello,

Wordpress can do simple websites as well as being a blog, just use  
pages rather than writing posts. There are plenty of templates out  
there that can put the pages front and centre of the site rather than  
the posts. As far as I remember that feature is available in Wordpress  
2.0 which I believe is the version in Debian...
