New Drupal News Site

Drupal Themed is news and content submitted by you the Drupal community user. It works just like the popular site Digg.com. If you have a new theme, plugin or just want to show off your Drupal powered website this is the place to do it. Why Drupal-Themed? Well, there really isn't any place one can submit Drupal news and get noticed, besides forums etc. so we decided to launch a site that would be a centralized place to post news regarding Drupal and the entites surrounding it.

Is your site hot or not?

First, there was HOT or NOT where you could rate the pictures of men and women. A great site to visit if you're single and don't have a date on a lonely Friday night. But life changes and now you have a family. Do what do you do if you're married with nothing to do on a Saturday night?

Yes, you can always watch Curious George with the family, but how do you get back to your old life in a responsible manner? Well, now you have an alternative, Web Hot or Not?

David Sifry (Technorati) explains how webhotornot.com came to exist.

How did it come to exist? When I was in Madrid visiting my friend and investor Martin Varsavsky late last year, we had a fun time brainstorming ideas to help find and rate interesting web sites, and we came up with the idea. Who knows, perhaps the ratings might even be useful if people start using the site - sort of a "prediction market" for web sites. Most of all, we just wanted to create a simple site that was fast-loading and fun to use. We both love Hotornot, so we figured we'd do an homage.

CMS User: Do not forget about CPG Dragonfly

I received an email from CPG Dragonfly CMS advocate, Dizfunkshunal. He observed that we do not cover Dragonfly here too much. Sadly, Dizfunkshunal is correct in his observation, in the past we have posted only a few articles regarding Dragonfly. How did this happen?

Articles regarding a particular content management system get posted on this site by two significant groups of people. Those two groups of people that have the power to put focus on a specific CMS are you and me. The 30 CMS that I am most impressed with today are listed on my site is the left-sidebar under "CMS Focus". This list has changed and will continue to change over time. If you want to help change that list then help persuade me either through comments or by submitting your own stories to CMSReport.com.

7 great CMS Report articles you still need to read

Yesterday, I talked about CMS Report's five most read articles that were published in 2007. Today, let's talk about seven of our articles that remained at the bottom of the dog pile. Listed below are Seven Great CMS Report Articles that you few people read.

  1. A review of ReviewBasics
  2. Introducing Facebook to the Boss
  3. United States students continue to fall behind in IT education
  4. Saying Goodbye to Old Media
  5. Thunderbird 2.0
  6. Virtually impressed with Microsoft
  7. Getting more work done through less innovation

Most of the articles listed above were read less than 1000 times. Yet, in my opinion, the articles are some of the better articles I wrote in 2007. Hey, some of the stories even have pictures (something I rarely do on my site). Perhaps you could make it one of your 2008 New Years resolutions to read the articles?

Which CMS should I focus on next?

I list exactly 30 different content management systems at my site under the "CMS Focus" banner here at CMSReport.com.  My list does not necessarily include the top CMS out there, but those CMS that I currently find of interest.  A few of the applications I currently list have dropped off my radar scope and no longer impress me as a CMS I want to spend my time taking about.  So I'm currently looking at replacing a few of the CMS I have listed with other applications.

If you had the power to add a CMS I currently don't have listed, which CMS would that be?

Now let's get real...I will consider your suggestion, but the CMS has to do impress me.  What is the criteria I use for selecting a CMS to place under the CMS Focus list?  First, the application has to add something I haven't seen in a CMS before.  I really have no interest in replacing a CMS with a CMS that doesn't do more than the ones I currently have listed.  Secondly, there has to be a good level of synergy in the development community and the user community supporting the CMS.  The community doesn't have to be open source, but it usually does make my job easier to find the more interesting CMS communities out there.

Now that you know my criteria, perhaps you have a CMS in mind that would be of interest to me?
