I am considering using ezPublish for the next generation design of one of my sites. I was wondering if anyone here knew how hard this CMS is to skin? I am PHP "challenged" and only so-so at CSS and HTML. I am one of those Photoshop/Fireworks design and slice for output to Dreamweaver type people.... ha ha!<br /><br />Also, if anyone here has installed ez Publish and can give me their personal opinions on it, that would be much appreciated. <br /><br />Basically I want to develop a new site that has robust news and community features but I want the site to look really pretty.<!--content-->
Well, I have not used it but a quick Google on "ezpublish skins" gives a few results. I would say that with a tad of work it is possible. Let see if we have any family members that have tried this though and see how in depth it might be.<!--content-->

Yeah... been reading that it might be a hog. Would I email tech support to see if it's OK to use on TCH servers. So far I haven't found another CMS that has everything I want. EzPublisher is the best I've looked at so far.<br /><br />I would hate to do a design and then be asked to pull the CMS off the server because it was too greedy <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

It's doubtful that tech support could give you an answer other than respond as Rob did.<br /><br />Unless support knew someone else was running this cms they would have no idea.<!--content-->
