I have installed SMF on a new hosting service. I am new to SMF and would like to be able to have other pages that can link onto it. For instance maybe a gallery page or information page. Someone suggested getting Joomla, does anyone have experience with this?
Thank you
Kathy

Can you tell me what SMF is?
I have not personally used Joomla before but I hear it's good. It is based off Mambo too (which is one of the best CMSs out there.) You can try it out here http://opensourcecms.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=2097&Itemid=159

actually mambo was the old name, and up until its final stable release was bought off from its original programmers/developers... Later they resurfaced and continued to work on more updates and features, but couldnt use the mambo name anymore, so they named it joomla!...

I just gave a more detailed info renegade, they just didnt change names with no reason, saying they change names might mean they are still from the same people but they woke up one day and decided to rename it...

I have a lot of experience with Mambo/Joomla and can thoroughly recommend it. It's not perfect but then nothing is, the devs are working hard on redoing the architecture to remove some of the limitations and it's beautiful code to work with.
