by Josh Clark

Big Medium is a web content management system for designers and their clients. The friendly, humane interface makes web publishing easy for everyone. No developers needed, no programming kung fu required. ItÕs dead-easy to install, runs in nearly any hosting environment, and bends to the designerÕs vision instead of forcing cookie-cutter layouts. Big Medium has all the features you should expect of a CMS (version control, workflow, search, etc.) but also lots of grace notes for content Pullquotes, image galleries, podcasts, scheduled publication, comments, a WYSIWYG CSS editor and other goodies. Big Medium 2: The Complete Guide provides a friendly, accessible tour of the entire system. It starts with a nuts-and-bolts explanation of how non-technical editors can add and edit webpages without any HTML know-how and gradually builds to more advanced topics, from custom design to system administration.
