@Webmaster, nah, its not Joomla bashing. For the record, I use Joomla everyday @ work and its my default choice for any website I do, I just get really pissed off at idiot programmers who fail to use it properly.

Learn PHP, some framework (CI, Kohana, ZF etc) then start using Joomla = very good
Learn Joomla, forget PHP ever existed, start developing websites = idiot developer

Ok, first of all, big humongous congrats on building your own CMS from scratch while in 2nd year, when I was in second year, I was busy chasing... never mind. I pray you don't get tempted by Joomla and forsake your noble cause. Not that Joomla is bad, but it pays to learn hard core PHP.

1. Keep on improving it. Those times you are in class and the lecturer is dead boring, be jotting down ideas on how to improve it.
2. I need a simple CMS back end which does the following:
a. Simple article and menu/page management, including ability to add metatags for each article
b. Uploading and managing pictures and videos
c. Basic user management

Can your CMS do that? If your answer is 0.5 to 1, where 0 = No and 1 = yes, then get me offlist tuongee :-)

Some will say Joomla et al does all this, but I dont want to use Joomla coz of the heartache of converting a HTML template to a Joomla et al template.

Hi Skunkies,

http://acrag.skylurktestsite.com/

... built the above site a while back, but unfortunately, my client
suddenly lost interest in owning a website soon after i finished it.

It uses a CMS I built from scratch early this year. I'm a 2nd year
comp-science dood at KU, and at the time, implementing an equivalent
of Joomla (only faster and leaner) in a few-months-time looked
achievable, lol... I've grown up since, and i now call it an
experiment/project... and despite its grave need for a redesign &
re-implementation, the CMS kinda works OK ;-D

Anyways, its up for sale, as it is, from 10k [bei ya campo :-)].

I guess its suitable for some NGO, or small-medium-ish businesses...
or even the occassional briefcase company (could make the outfit
appear more credible) ... or just about any entity that doesn't need
an overly interactive site.

You could even get it for you're girlfriend! ... score points by
claiming u coded the whole thing over a tea break. i know most of u
geeks use jargon in you're foreplay, lol, hehehehe

... or its just me who does that o_O ??

.... moving on... part of the proceeds of the purchase will be donated
to the kenyans-for-kenya thing. Scout's honour on that ;-)
.
... once purchased, expect it to be up on ur domain of choice in no
time (note that "no-time" in kenya is subject to delays from traffic
jams and power rationing). Its a php site (in case some of you who go
to iHub dint notice), so don't drop me a windows-hosted domain like a
client once did to me, lol

... so, niaje skunkie... why not "promote" and support this upcoming
script-kiddie ;-)

.... and if you're not buying, i'd appreciate you're review/critism

if u wanna tinker with it, feel free to go to
http://acrag.skylurktestsite.com/index.php/admin
with "admin" for both the username & password.

btw, If u make sense of how to use it, congratulations! u have an IQ
in excess of 200!! in fact, contact me for an official "200+ IQ"
certificate for only 4999.89!!
