Guess whos back? =) Thansk for all your help Falken, now I'm back with more complex questions that need to be answered Can I post the URL to the portfolio so you can see hows it going? Or send it to you by PM? (I don't want to spam) I succesfully managed to implement a Gallery module called "Album" and it works perfectly, i'm very proud of it . Also, I managed to retouch an existing design changing colours and images, and even if its not still finished (missing the main banner), I'm getting to like it. The problem comes when I try to set up a contact form, I'm just a total... idiot. I just can't do it. Im trying to set up de SMTP on CMSMS mailer and it doesn't work (and it does on Thunderbird). Also, the contact form looks ugly and I'm using the official "forms" module. Anyways, it doesn't work, it gives me this message: Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to smtp.1and1.es:25 (Conexi?n rehusada) in /homepages/14/d272334934/htdocs/portfolio/CMS/modules/CMSMailer/phpmailer/class.smtp.php on line 105 So I don't know what to do here. By the way, any suggestions of any good module to put on the side bar to the left? I have a "news" module there, but it hasnt got any use for a portfolio. Any ideas? =) Thanks again, as always

Well, I got it installed and running. Now the only real problem I see is that there are very few interesting templates to work on. Anyways, this is almost what I was looking for, an easy to use system were I can organize my works and show them to the world Now I just need a good template...! And, again, thanks, sincerly, you made my day =D

Nevermind what I said! Found myself the answer weeee!! http://cmsmadesimple.org/tutorials/dl_cmsms_package/tutorial.swf Let's rock this

Woah! Great advices there, LSW, really, thank you!. I was willing to use a relaxed music as a background for visualizing my work, but as you said, many people wont like it. So I better leave the music away, and focus on my own work. Good, now I don't know how to start, maybe I should start by trying CMSMade Simple and come back again if I have any troubles, I don't really want to bother you guys anymore. I'll do my best and see how far I can get. By the way, CMS Made Simple has any kind of templates or anything that I can modify easily (with photoshop hehehe)? So I can give the portfolio a more personal look. Thanks guys, really, I'm amazed

Thanks a bunch falkencreative! I'm sorry for being so vague at asking, I'm spanish, therefore my english is not as good as I'd like, anyways your message has been of great help. I think I'll start working with Wordpress and studying these nice videos and tutorials, and then, if I have more questions, come back and try to sort them out. Thanks again, and thanks a lot! Also, Ill take a look at CMSMadeSimple and sNews CMS

Hi there! I'm new here and I've seen here a pretty friendly community so I decided myself to ask you for some help. First of all I must say that I'm a graphic designer for editorial content (not web content) and now I find myself looking for a job . So, I need to create a portfolio to show my creations to other companies and well, you know, manage to get a new job. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this, give me some advice of any good content manager (php nuke, wordpress...) and guide me through the creation of a simple but atractive portfolio were I can easily post and tag my creations. And re-design it easily of course. P.S: As a side note, I've seen some blogs with some kind of media player were the owner puts the music he wants, that would also be awesome I'm sorry if I'm asking for too much Thanks in advance!
