            <p>A CMS is supposed to save you time in managing your website, unfortunately quite the opposite seems to be the case. I have never had much faith in PHP templating systems or by extension Content Management Systems. The more I look at the latter the more I am convinced that they should be labled content mismanagement systems.</p>
            <p>If you read this blog regularly you might have noticed that i have been looking at a few of these systems during the past weeks. Last week I decided to use drupal for one of my projects. Then I had a look through the documentation and it was&nbsp;appalling.</p>
            <p>As some others had commented in the drupal forum, the documentation is too modularized and too detailed, it's a tough ask figuring out which section of the documentation you need to read to dig up the information you need.</p>
            <p>While I am a great fan of RTFM, I don't believe in reading through a vast manual, most of which is aimed at newbies, or too generic. The drupal manual certainly does not need to teach me (or anyone) how to install php or postgres.&nbsp;Keep it short and sweet please.</p>
            <p>At the moment it looks like I am through with Content Management Systems or at least with drupal.</p>
