Re: who believes in god (these days)

Coming from a Jewish viewpoint I can completely sympathise, being Jewish apparently is not something you can just decide not to be, (according to certain members of my family, it is like being black or white, you cannot just decide not to be Jewish) I then consider myself a non practicing Jew, altho...

CMS

Anyone know of an easy to use, free to use content management system? I have been using Joomla, but want to try something more child friendly so I can get the kids at school to have a go at building a website. (primary aged children)
