Smalltalk does have open source blog and content management systems; e.g.

alternatives to the big ��http://www.drupal.org Drupal (PHP) ��and
http://www.joomla.org Joomla (PHP) ��or even smaller ones like
http://radiantcms.org Radiant CMS (Ruby) , ��http://www.refinerycms.com
Refinery CMS (Ruby) , ��http://www.django-cms.org Django CMS (Python) , etc

Smalltalk will get more exposure if it were easier (and cheaper) for people
to host their own blog or website using a Smalltalk based Blog/CMS.

Question is; what can be done to have more Smalltalkers use a Smalltalk
based blog system and attract non-Smalltalkers to try a Smalltalk CMS?

Thanks to the screencast made by Damien Cassou now I use Pier and it's quite fun and easy to manage for basic stuff.��

The big problem with Pier is the terrible lack of documentation, recipes, how-to's...... no marketing, no communication with user.��

The public of a product like Pier is not advanced Smalltalk developers. Drupal can be managed and deployed freely by non-technical people. That's a key of success.
