I've spent the past two days Googling & demoing various CMS options (free or nearly-so) for a small community news site.
I've found several that are *almost* okay, but there always seems to be a showstopper somewhere; sometimes due to my limitations, and sometimes due to the application's.
We need to be able to add news, images, & classifieds to start off with. Can anyone suggest one that's
1) easy to install
2) cheap (vastly prefer free; can go up to around $250 or so)
3) easy to configure (I am fairly comfy with HTML & CSS, but I dunno about template editing)
4) cheap
5) easy enough for a really smart person who's almost completely computer-illiterate to add content to the site with it?
I would prefer to have some flexibility regarding layout, etc., but unfortunately, I just don't have time for a steep learning curve right now, and it needs to get started up fairly soon.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

3. I'd check out Wordpress or Joomla! |

Wordpress is the easiest and very good, but Joomla is VERY well supported and has tons of features. http://www.joomla.org/
