lol, same here, very annoying. Did you use Wordfence to monitor the traffic?

I tend to not announce what security stuff I use in open forums -- but I don't use wordpress, so wordfence is kinda not useful.

Umbraco. It's probably the best (.net) cms in the world! 400,000+ active installs around the world. MS even used for the asp.net site.
still in the office... perhaps i should go home

WordPress is elephanting great, even as a CMS; it's long evolved from just a blog engine. That is, elephanting great until you need to deal with its elephanting code.
So I would very highly recommend it if you can get the required customizing right using plugins and 3rd party API's. Then I would recommend it on a level down if you can customize it by writing you own plugins; PHP isn't bad when you do it properly. And last of all, I may just still recommend it if you need to modify its own code, because PHP is always bad when it's someone else's, but still easy enough for such a multitude of hacks to use it. laugh:

I use WP and find it's OK. Once a user is accustomed to how to add content they can make changes easily. Two basic security plugins that I use are IQ Block Country and All In One WP Security, there are a few good Youtube videos that can walk someone through the best practical settings.
I've also used Barracuda Drive (now FuguHub) and it's small and fast but requires more backend maintenance. It even fits on mini/micro computers like a Raspberry Pi.

concrete5 is emerging as a viable choice for PHP developers.
A local development firm swears by it not at it but that's my opinion as an outsider just starting to learn and use WordPress despite its many problems.

I've used MODX several times for basic marketing sites. Very easy to use and it doesn't get in the way of your HTML and design. It's been around for quite a while and I've never had a problem with it.

NOT. I've found it to be unintuitive, virtually impossible to get it to do even basic stuff, there are a gazillion add-ons so trying to find the one that actually does what it says it does is a nightmare, and once you've actually got the functionality you want, the performance is abysmal - both at the server and on the client. There are plug-in conflicts to worry about (at the client) and then, if you're not careful, it goes and updates itself without asking!
I do run one site in WP, which I did primarily so I could get some practical hands-on experience in the real world. As a result it virtually never changes, apart from the odd blog post. Which is understandable really; it's fine as a simple blogging engine, but there are precious few sites that really are just simple blogs any more, and increasingly people try and use it for things for which it's totally unsuited. It's not a CMS, it's a (fairly basic) blogging tool with a really clunky and limited editor.

I'm not interested in dissing WP. I've done development for it for years. I'm more interested to see if there's any new cool stuff out there I don't know about.

Better?

I've used Joomla and found it pretty easy, lots of pre-made stuff for it, although it has been several years (and versions,) since I looked at it.

WEEKEND IS HERE 
I have 3 girls and a boy. What are the odds, that my next child will be a boy too?

depends on who is on top when making the baby.

Why is it Soapbox material? The one on top is high enough up to catch the Stork, and gets to choose which baby to grab...

With four kids already, the chances that you'd actually want another one are already slim.
The chances that you and your wife would get the opportunity to make another one (without being interrupted by one or more of your existing progeny) are even more remote!

There is no problem there, but as long as my wife does not want to bear them...

My mother's parents had 10 children over a span of 27 years; my mother was the youngest.
There were 5 boys and 5 girls.
My father's parents had 6 children over a span of 17 years; my father was the second youngest.
There were 4 boys and 2 girls.
My parents had 7 children over the span of 14 years; I am the 4th.
There were 6 boys and 1 girl.
Somehow, they managed despite the number of children running around.

They must have been very good at locking the bedroom door and ignoring cries for attention.
