Basically I'm just looking to have news, rss feeds and a couple of static pages that I can edit from a backend. Do you guys know any lightweight "CMS" (Mambo/Joomla or the likes would definitely be overkill) that would let me do this? Or should I be looking at a blogging software like Wordpress? Oh and multi-domain support would be a big plus, as I would like to edit all my niche sites from one place and not have to log in into x different backends.
 


Wordpress is pretty straight forward for article content. I haven't tried any of the other blogging software out there, but they should all work the same.

however, i have no experience with multi domain support so i cant help you there
 
Drupal should do this out of the box (you just need to upload a config file for each site i think) and you can disable/not install any unwanted features by only using modules you need. I believe you can have separate databases for each site as well. When you do multisites with Drupal, the sites are in subdirectories. I'm not exactly sure how the recommend doing it for separate domains, but the easiest way I can think of is just create a symbolic link from your domain's folder to the subdir in the Drupal folder.
 
Drupal can do it all for sure, but its definitely not a lightweight system. Although version 5 has made things more straight forward, theres still a pretty steep learning curve to get it all behaving exactly the way you want.
 
Thanks guys, and yes, I would put Drupal up there with Mambo/Joomla. So I'll definitely check out MODx and take a look at Wordpress.
