	I'm passing on this query from someone off-list:
	
	I'm the Instructional Design Specialist at LaGuardia Community College. We
	need an easy-to-use poster tool where faculty can post their research
	and other projects. Basically a content management tool. Faculty here
	are a range of tech savvy, with most not very.... and most
	are not really interested in spending time & effort on coding. However I
	have enough hand coding & css experience to set up a nice template for
	them, which it would be great for them to be able to then customize with
	colors, images, etc. The caveat is that ideally the tool needs to be
	free or very low cost.
	
	I thought about using a blogtool, but having an entry format with the
	posting times are not going to work for what we have in mind.
	
	I have suggested that she try customizing a blog template to downplay the
	time/date stamped nature of a blog entry. I have also mentioned Google Pages
	<http://pages.google.com/> as a simple WYSIWYG web page creation tool. But I
	wonder if there is something better for her purposes out there?
