That is an area where I can say and gladly, I have no experience. I've really never had any wish to use windows for web hosting. The servers are expensive and I'd want it dedicated since I can't have a nice reliable connection. I pay $20/m for my server, and it runs lamp+email and works great. Good to know though, I'm curious what I'm using in my web dev class this coming semester.

Hi Ty,I work with SharePoint here at work. It's way to huge and bloated both on the administrative side and on the site building side, and it's accessible, but not very usable.

It is rough--I have been trying to learn it recently, I use irc when I have questions. You have to dig through a lot of sarcasm, but there are some helpful people there. I don't know about the microsoft version, but I do know drupal is huge in web dev circles.On 12/10/2010 7:19 AM, Katherine Moss wrote: Look at both Umbraco and Mojo Portal.*From:* programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] *On Behalf Of *RicksPlace*Sent:* Friday, December 10, 2010 8:01 AM*To:* programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>*Subject:* Drupal and Microsoft CMS Options?Hi: I know very little about CMS. As a result of Jamal using it, I have looked at some of the Drupal docs by googling but am having trouble wrapping my head around exactly how it all works since I am an old Microsoft user. I am trying to figure out a similar option in the Microsoft World. So far I think that Sharepoint and Open Office, both 2010 versionws with accessibility, sound like they are the Microsoft counterpart to Drupal. does this sound about right? Since they support ARIA and the other new Web Standards, or at least some articles say they do, has anyone tried them out? If there is another Microsoft thingy where it looks or works sort of a CMS with DB storage and perhaps Media support could you mention it so I can do a little more digging?It looks like allot of blind folks are trying to use various CMS Websites and most of them are pretty bad. They also sound almost as complex to create and maintain as a standard Website developed in something like VWD. Anyway, thanks for any input you provide on CMS, Drupal or any Microsoft counterpart products that I can research a little more.Again, the Microsoft 2010 versions of the Open Office and Sharepoint are suppose to be accessible where the older versions were not very accessible if that helps.Rick USA --Thanks,TyThis e-mail and any attachments to it are confidential and are intended solely for use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
