Connie is defending a lost cause. We have tried many CMS and the "LightNEasy" is the best! Light, simple and practical. Fernando is right.

Light, simple and practical.

I look at code. Each person has his own way of coding, so it is easy to compare 2 codes and determine if they were made by the same person. Each template has a signature and its signature is the CSS code. Each designer also has his own design style. Please take a look at the templates from freecsstemplates.org unknown, decorative, mosaic and roundhouse: do you think they were made by the same designer? First time i went to freecsstemplates.org, it looked like on of many other websites that distribute templates made by others. Most do the right thing: they declare they are a colective space for designers to present their work and identify the maker of each template. Examples: http://www.openwebdesign.org, http://www.oswd.org, http://www.opendesigns.org. But then i saw in the first page: "...Here you'll find a number of free CSS templates I've created, ...." I ported 2 templates from DCarter to LightNEasy. In one of them, i recognized a CSS technique i had once used, so i browsed through the CSS and, there it was: "/* Based on Nifty Corners: rounded corners without images */ /* By Alessandro Fulciniti */ /* http://www.html.it/articoli/nifty/index.html */" See? that is the Open Source spirit. DCarter didn't have to do it, but he did the right thing. If you browse through LightNEasy code, you will see several references to ideas or contributions from third parties. That also is Open Source spirit. So, tell me: who is freecsstemplates.org? (Note: it is impossible for me to submit a comment without submitting a rate as well, so i submitted an average of the 2 previous ratings) Connie: I believe i explained my reasons to you, but it seems you didn’t understand them:

So the licence of the templates is broken by the author and they are even mocking about that. Not a good example of opensource and I must take back my positive judgement which I wrote last week.
