Hey, just joined the forum, primarily to get some reviews and ideas for CMS I've been working on.

Check it out here (http://oasis-games.com/home)
PHPwnage is a PHP and MySQL-based content management system with news, side blocks, RSS, user pages, and a hand-made, full-featured forum.
I started working a little over a week ago, starting with the theme which I first used on an all-HTML site. The theme is now a set of PNGs, so the background can change without destroying the look. You can see how it works in different colors using the "Color Changer" block towards the bottom (the background a user chooses is stored in a cookie so that it stays the same throughout the site). The news page is fairly simple, the administrator uses a password to access an 'admin panel' from which he/she can post new news articles, and side blocks, create new user pages, review a security log that shows when people have tried to access different parts of the site with an incorrect password, and also add new boards to the forum. The main news page uses scrollable DIVs to keep the size of each article down, but by clicking the title, the user is taken to a page that shows just that article in its full size. Custom user pages work the same way, and can be edited by users with a password. The forum is a recent addition and has by far taken the longest time. The look and feel is based primarily off of phpBB. All images used are custom. New users can register through a link seen when they are not logged in. A member can put Instant Messaging screennames in their profile, and the logos for the ones they have appear below their avatar on the forum. Some other features of the forum are bbCode (though my url tag is somewhat different) and quoting. Quoted messages appear in a DIV with 5 pixel padding and a dashed white border.
Basic Information:
Name: PHPwnage
Language: PHP
Features:
+ News
+ RSS
+ Forum
+ User pages
+ Mobile page
Themes:
+ Glass, semi-transparent theme can have any background color, determined by a gif in a subdirectory
+ More themes can be made by editing the css.php (soon to be fixed to make new themes even easier by storing the information in style sheets)

*Note: Second link must be refreshed, as it can not be accessed directly
If you have any questions / comments / suggestions, please post them.
Edit: Just as a note, the entire site was written in Notepad++ from scratch, except for a few pieces of content because I'm lazy (ie, some of the blocks were done in FrontPage so I didn't have to mess around too much)
Edit: Just uploaded version 1.4, which fixes some installation issues. You must download it from Oasis Games.
