The nfbnet.org site where your site is houses has drupal for your
installation. From your cPanel page go to fantastico deluxe and you
can install it from there.<br><br>

I was actually thinking that a content management system would be a great
idea for the affiliate website.<br><br>
In short this would be a system that would allow authorized people to
make content postings without having to worry about formatting and stuff.
This would allow us to develop a design once and then focus on content
generation/delivery in a fashion not unlike wikipedia (though with much
better access controls and without everybody seeing an "edit"
link). <br><br>
This would also help with the "one webmaster" problem and allow
the many people in our affiliate who are great at creating content to
more easily leverage their skills.<br><br>
Examples of these systems include:<br>
<a href="http://www.scribus.net/">http://www.scribus.net/</a> (using
drupal) and<br>
<a href="http://berkeley.edu/">http://berkeley.edu/</a> (running
TikiWiki)<br><br>
These are very simple to install as they simply require put a few files
on the server just like a regular web page, and could be maintained
fairly easily.<br><br>
I think it would make building/maintaining/updating the site a lot
slicker and make it easier to integrate some of our other projects like
posting our newsletter, meeting minutes and/or convention media.<br><br>
If your interested I can use my old netbook to put together a demo of a
couple of these packages for state convention so people can get a feel
for what it would look like and how it might work.<br>
