When I went looking for an opensource content management system to use mid last year, I only knew of a couple, these were Mambo, and PHP Nuke. I had heard mixed reviews about these systems, and wanted to make sure I was using the best, I went in search of one that would do everything that I needed.

After a bit of searching I came across two of the most useful sites on the web (in my opinion)... OpenSourceCMS and CMSMatrix.

I recently designed a website for a new Brisbane boat hire company, Smart Power Boat Hire.

Smart Power Boat Hire, supply affordable hire of 16ft cuddy cabin fibreglass cruisers with all the modern technology and equipment on board one would expect. The boats are powered by quiet and economical 75hp Evinrude E-tec outboards and all boats come on trailers ready to hook up and drive away. Smart Power Boat Hire also offer the opportunity for customers who would like to get out on the water but do not have a licence or tow bar on their vehicle. They can arrange a licence in a weekend and a tow bar fitted up to your vehicle within 2-3 hours at you home, getting you on the water sooner. They are based on the north side of Brisbane at Albany Creek.

The thing with boating is that for most people, it is a hobby, and quite and expensive one at that. Most boat owners take their boats out on the water about 10 times per year, thats just under once a month. Now when you think about the costs of owning and maintaining a boat similar to the ones at Smart Power Boat Hire, which is just over $8,000 per year, that makes each trip out on the water about $800 worth. Compare this to the price that you can hire a boat from Smart Power Boat Hire, $300 for 24 hours, it doesn't make a lot of sense to buy your own.

And if you still think that its worth owning your own boat, why not try before you buy, and hire one for the weekend. Visit the brisbane boat hire specialists, Smart Power Boat Hire.

This is the third "first post" I have done for NickSchoonens.com. I have been playing around with several content management systems and blogging tools, but have decided to go with Drupal. I have used Drupal for a couple of other sites that I am creating at the moment, and it just offers a whole lot more flexibility than any other system I could find.
