In case you haven't been to the Mirificam Press home page in awhile, I'd like to announce that I have finally given in to the Twitter mania and set up a Mirificam Press account. If you'd like to follow, my name is . You'll get some personal stuff but I try to keep it updated with links and other design related tweets as well. Now turning to the task at hand, I found Aisle One's "8 Simples Ways to Improve Typography" to be one of the best overviews of the basic typographic rules, I've ever seen. Here's this week's 5 for Friday.

We use b2evolution and it's too bad it didn't make the CMS Toolbox list...it's pretty powerful.

I'm currently using Drupal to run my church's website. Seems like Drupal would be great if I was a full time PHP developer and had a bunch of projects using it, but for a smallish stand-alone, it's starting to not make much sense. At Edgar's mention, I'll be checking out b2evolution a little closer, and looking into Wordpress and Joomla/Mambo also.

I agree about Drupal. I did a test project just to check it out and even though I've been working with PHP for years, I still found it frustrating. Not very intuitive at all. I saw a SXSWi panel in 2008 with a guy that was just gushing about Expression Engine. I've never used it but it sounds pretty good too.
