The following post was written due to many email questions asking ‘What is e107?’.
e107 is a Open Source Content Management System, developed using PHP and MySQL. It is developed by a handful of developers who proudly give up there spare time to keep the CMS up to date and moving up in the world of CMS’s.
At the end of last month e107 came 3rd in the Packt Publishing Best PHP Open Source Content Management System Award. Just loosing out to Drupal and Joomla. This been the 2nd year running e107 has reached the final. Congratulations to all involved.
Not only is e107 free to download, but it includes all you need to set up a website in minutes as long as you have the correct hosting to do so. It includes several packaged features as well as a whole community dedicated to creating new plugins and themes. Some of the packaged features include, a forum, calender, downloads, news submission, news and many many more. To get an idea of all the features you get with e107 you’d have to see for yourself. To do this go here and view the demo installations.
e107 can easily be expanded to suit your needs, plugins can easily be created and if your lucky a suitable plugin has already been created. Styling your site is just as easy with many themes available to download, or if you know how to code/design then you can create your own. It’s easy!
Not only is e107 easy to develop and expand it also offers a great support base, with a documentation wiki, and a forum where members, the support team and developers all help you sort out any problems that may arise.
An official plugins has also been created meaning you don’t have to search the internet for any add-on’s you may want. An official themes site will be up and running in the near future.
So what are you wanting for, go and download e107 now.

Thanks in advance to anyone who hires me to raise money for this great cause.
if you visited this blog before you might just notice the new design that has just been uploaded and activated. This new design was designed by James of Eat Fruit Please, if you need a designer for anything I can safely say James is your man. I have brought several designs of him and each time it has been a pleasure doing business with him.
Once I saw this design in a thread at TalkFreelance I immediately wanted it, the reason I wanted it as I wanted it to be the base of a new beginning for me as a blogger. Not only that, I wanted to give the link to this blog to potential employers as my job hunt continues. Over the next few days I will be adding pages to this blog, these pages will be mainly for the purpose of helping me get a job. A services page will also be written outlining what I can currently offer and at what price.
Also as it gets closer and closer to December I will have an announcement or two about a project I have been working on for about 3-4 months. All the work involved in the project isn’t quite finished but I have my fingers crossed it will all be done ready for the start of December. A few things I can say is that is for e107 and it will hopefully be a nice little present to everyone who uses and contributes to e107.
Tomorrow is also Children in Need here in the UK. This means I will be offering my services tomorrow for as many people as I can and ALL money raised will be sent into Children in need once all work has been complete and money received via Paypal. Work will be done as fast as I can but if demand is high it may take a few more days to complete. I want to complete all requests, so as much money can be raised as possible. This is also a good way for me to get more work in my portfolio for this fresh start. More information will be posted tomorrow here and on TalkFreelance.
I think that just about wraps this extra long blog post up. Feel free to let me know what you think of the new design via the contact form or comment form.
