Content Management Systems in Plain English Written by Mike Wayne    Friday, 17 July 2009 00:07 What is a Content Management System? A Web Content Management System (CMS) is a browser based system used to update your website or blog.  By using a CMS, you can virtually know nothing about HTML coding or website design to update your website.  Adding content to your site is as easy as typing a letter in Microsoft Word.  You can add text, images and video quickly and easily giving virtually anyone the ability to run a professional website or blog. Why Should I Use A Content Management System? Why not? Practically every site or blog on the net is running on a CMS.  It simply does not make sense to add new content to a website manually anymore (by manually I mean hand-coding page by page).  Content Management Systems also are configured to provide better site organization.  Basically they organize your articles and content for you, neatly and efficiently.  They support "tags", provide built-in search engine optimization, and can even alert the search engines when you post new content.  This makes it easier for people to find your site on Search Engines, like the almighty Google!
