      Re: starting local online community-Movable Type PRO!

      Out of curiosity, why not Wordpress which is free and extensible?

              Apparently TextPattern is free and extensible too, but I don't know what the difference is.

              Enlighten us mazi!

                                  Remember with wordpress or a blogger site, you can always have people e-mailing you events and you post then and they talk about them in the comments. But a regular forum to me, is way better, that way you don't have to do all the work.

                                      Mazi, good luck with the site, since the Buzz Board is down on Buzzlife.com we need a one stop shop for EDM in the DC Area. Let me know when it's up and running.

                                                  Depends on what you want, but a forum or a blog is the easiest way to go. If you intend to have a more 'magazine' style for layout and content with music reviews, interviews, articles, then a proper CMS would be logical.

                                                  I used to use SMF for forum, pretty straight forward. Just read about this PunBB forum software which sounds promising.

                                                  I mentioned Textpattern because I was just reading about it here and it links to a WordPress Developer's Toolbox which should be useful.

                                                      I would give drupal a try - has many features (blog/forum) and tons of plugins/modules for extra stuff
