What's a content management system?
A content management system is software that allows people to submit content to a website without requiring technical knowledge of HTML or the uploading of files. People can collaboratively create, edit, review, index, search, publish and archive al content in a website. The CMS can keep track of every piece of content on a website, much like a library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, etc.
