I used to like computers, I remember liking computers, now I just want to give up on the whole thing

Argh. All I ever post here any more is whiny complaints about how the world doesn't work the way I want it to. This is pretty much the state of my life the past few years, so I guess that's not that surprising. So anyway, me whining. Again. Dammit

Hmmm. I'm not sure if you are referring to CMS here as "Course Management System" or "Content Management System". I believe they are quite different, but I don't know enough about "course management" applications such as Moodle to comment more exactly.

If you are looking to something that manages "content", WordPress and Drupal are the ones that are best known, but there are also Joomla and Zope/Plone and a number of others. [Yes, I am quoting a lot from Wikipedia here, but I still think it's a good starting point. I'll admit bias, as I have edited some Wikipedia pages -- though not these ones -- in the recent past.] Wikipedia also pointed me to this PDF file from "Idealware" comparing the first four CMSs (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Plone) that I mentioned above

Also, Wikipedia provides this list of "learning management systems", including Moodle.

I was referring to CMS as Content, but I'd rather have a proper Course Management System if I can do so on the cheap hosting through my ISP (I want to use Tilted because I've had another site with them since 2003 and they've been consistently good during that time, and I'd like to get the cheapest plan on this page because I'm not exactly made of money - they're also offering me a discount for being an existing customer
