Seriously cmsmadesimple does seem easier to use and the documentation is much easier to comprehend. So thanks for the info. I will carouse around and get a feel for it. I have also book marked the learning sites you suggested. I will keep you posted on my progress or lack there of ...lol

I think you will find it easier to use, you will learn a lot more, and faster.

Joomla is simply too much for most "casual" users without prior knowledge. I don't think it is a very good system for simple websites either. Even "simple" operations, ( When you know how!!!) are too complex and involved.

Once you have used CMSmadesimple for a little while, you can also use more or less any of the others, ( including Joomla if you want), but it's easier to learn with, and quite a few people I have recommended it to found various concepts easier to grasp.

Many of these systems work on the same basic principles, and once you can use one , you can use most of them. You have to be able to use at least one, in order to be able to decide what you want! If it does not do exactly what you want. or you need another add-on or option, then you look for a system that has such, or program your own, some systems are "easily" ( but once again, only when you can do it! ) extendable.
