Jon Hicks on Expression Engine vs Textpattern (Photo Dude)

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:55:45 GMT

Jon Hicks on Expression Engine vs Textpattern — Obviously one big difference is the $199 license EE requires, versus the open source goodness of Textpattern. But for me, it comes down to the capability of having members and member groups. If you need it, EE is the way to go. If you don’t need those, there is very little Textpattern can’t do.

Expression Engine vs Textpattern (hicksdesign)

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 20:41:03 GMT

Once people got wind that I’d been trying out Expression Engine, I’ve been badgered with the question “Which one should I use: Textpattern or Expression Engine?”. This post is to try and answer that, but be warned it’s going to be a long one! When choosing a CMS for a site, I would say that there are 2 main factors in the choice: What you want to use it for Personal feel The latter can’t be...

Sucky Textpattern: Still the Best, Still Bad (Economic Investigations)

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:39:15 GMT

I still think that Textpattern is still the best blogging platform for authors who are familiar with XHTML and CSS and who want to be able to personalize designs. Textpattern still has a lot of things going in its favor: A clean separation of XHTML structure from content, rivaled only by MovableType (Wordpress is the worst here and the main reason that I’m never going to use it.). A highly...

A tumblelog plugin for Textpattern which looks very useful as a way of pulling in posts, videos, links and photos on to your site. Irritatingly I found this the day after I had to hack together a way of doing this for an upcoming site… always the way! •

I'm Not In Love (Planet Intertwingly)

Fri, 16 May 2008 05:16:51 GMT

I've come to realize that I'm not in love with Textpattern. This relationship had the instant attraction down pat, but the infatuation ended pretty rapidly when I logged into the admin interface and was greeted with a dizzying array of options. It's a bit of a letdown: Textpattern looks simple on the surface, but is in fact much more complex than it lets on. However, I've decided what...

TextPattern and WordPress (Planet Intertwingly)

Wed, 07 May 2008 02:35:33 GMT

I’ve been using TextPattern for almost 5 months now. I’m still not entirely sold on it; it appears to be simple at first glance, but then once you install it, you're greeted with this enormous tabbed admin interface. I’m a big fan of simplicity, but blosxom is probably too simple for my taste. TextPattern is a bit too much toward the other direction, however. At this point, inertia is...

Am I missing something when it comes to drupal? (Web Design - 3.7crea.tv Blog)

... the solution? I didn't find it in any of the blogging engines (wordpress, EE, textpatern… although textpattern is so close), and the enterprise solutions just seem to complex for the average non IT web owner. Is a custom django application the solution that I keep putting off? More and more I feel like it is. Tags: CMS , content management , drupal , textpattern , wordpress
