Interested in creating a web site that attracts repeat visitors, lets you easily keep content fresh and relevant... and is easy to configure and use? PostNuke (www.postnuke.com) is a third-generation content management tool patterned after successful sites like slashdot and kuro5hin.
What does PostNuke provide?
PostNuke provides an easy way to create and edit news articles, permit
user discussion on articles, survey users, link news feeds from other
sites and change the look/feel of a site quickly through style-sheets
and templating. In addition, remote administration allow authorized
site administrators to manage site content from anywhere, including
the full range of publishing, editing and approving content.
What are some examples of PostNuke sites?
Here are some sample PostNuke sites where you can see how content is
kept fresh and interactivity with users encouraged:

Bottom line: if you want to keep your organizational or personal site
fresh, attract repeat visitors and build a community, systems like
PostNuke make a great deal of sense. It's another great piece of
technology built using PHP.
