Textpattern is a flexible and elegant content management system for powering all kinds of websites, including personal journals (weblogs) and commercial sites.
When it comes to publishing on the internet, beginners and experts alike are met with a bothersome paradox: word processors and graphics applications allow anyone to do a pretty good job of managing text and images on a personal computer, however the same skills do not translate to creating content on the world-wide web. Up til now, creating web content requires knowledge of several standards, intricacies of competing browsers, programming skills, computer-based graphic design, and it helps to have the patience of a saint. Those who soldier on anyway may find themselves further held back by the web?s purported inflexibility with written language, with its reluctance to cope with all but the plainest of text, or by the unpredictable results brought about by using ?WYSIWYG? web editors.
Textpattern is a content management system (CMS) designed to help overcome these hurdles and to simplify the production of well-structured, standards-compliant web pages. It is suitable for small and medium sized sites and incorporates many features found in other popular weblog software packages without forcing the user into a date-based organizational model. In Textpattern, the content is organized by type.
