minimalist cms alternatives to wp
 

a very long time ago i downloaded this little script called "tinytext" or something and it was the smallest little blog type script ever, prolly long gone dont recall the name but what are the minimalist alternative options to wordpress these days.

something very small.

Textpattern

something like Get Simple? No SQL type CMS or other?

Sugar is supposed to be small and light weight, but I have never used it. Yet.

DotNetNuke

check out http://www.opensourcecms.com/, you can try and demo most of the famous open source systems there....

I think you are referring to Tiny MCE. I used it a long time ago but I think there are better alternatives. FCK Editor is used a lot but I think without their branding it can cost a few bucks. surrealcms.com ad a really easy and nice option, 25 bucks a month for unlimited sites. you put a editable class in whatever divs you wanted to and you could make an admin on your server with your branding for clients. would give them cms wherever the class was. They are changing up now to teir pricing and it can get expensive depending on how many domains you want to use it on. I think the unlimited plan is like 100 bucks a month now lol.

You can find a lot of tinymce type cms scripts with admin areas at envato's code canyon site for cheap. Be sure to look at the comments left to make sure there aren't any huge problems that may have been overlooked.

Best of luck

notepad ;)

tried Cute News script from http://cutephp.com/
it's small, easy to implement into design and even do not require MySQL (can work with flat file database) but there's also MySQL version
I have used it for some smaller projects ages ago (and I think I have older versions somewhere on my hdd...)

I made blog script which using files for storage,super light and optimized for seo.If you want i can sent it to your mail,it's free.(GPL licence)

This one is nice:
