Back when I was a young Turk, I played a lot with a series of blog platforms and content-management systems (CMS) — early PHP/MySQL “LAMP” — called Nukes. There was PHPNuke and my favorite, PostNuke. I used PostNuke for my personal web site and for early variants of Memes.org. Well, it’s been a long time but PostNuke has come a long way, baby, and is now called Zikula. I am going to be seeing if I can find ways to use it, both for personal and professional projects. You should surely check out Zikula, too. Download it now and check it out: Zikula-1.2.0.zip and Zikula-1.2.0.tar.gz
