Content Management Systems
Websites, including your intranet, are dynamic entities. They have to be, or no one would
ever come back to them. As such, you should install a content management system (CMS)
to easily add, delete, and update content.
A CMS makes intranet maintenance much easier and can be done by someone with a
very limited background with HTML, opening up the role of content management to a
wider range of users. Among other things, a CMS facilitates the following:
• Addition of new content
• Removal of old content
• Better organization of the data on the site
• Managing text, articles, documents, files, and other communications
• Managing images and other elements
There are a number of CMSs for both Windows and Linux. Most offer free versions, or
you can buy a premium package that offers more functionality. Well-known Windows CMSs
include Community Server and DotNetNuke. DotNetNuke is shown in Figure 6-6.
