I have been playing around with this for the last couple of days.

 

Anchor is very elegant and very simple. It is perfectly suited for simple blogs - especially blogs that are driven by pictures and art.

 

It does require you to have some basic HTML knowledge as this is how you write your posts. There is no WYSIWYG editor.

 

What I like is the fact it's so simple, and the templating system is simply awesome and creating lovely simple blog websites with it is easy and painless.

 

I would not recommend it for more complex websites, it's not what I'd call a CMS. But for more basic blogs its a possible alternative to the relative bloatedness of systems such as Wordpress.

 

I would advise against using it for client sites...yet. It's solid, I just feel it needs a bit more time to develop and the community around it to thrive. Anyway, check it out: http://anchorcms.com/

 

Run it on your local machine, see what you think. I would recommend basing themes on the default, as the default theme is pretty much a skeleton theme anyway.

 

Here's mine: http://michaelgunner.co.uk/

 

Pretty sure I'll be keeping it as it suits me rather nicely.

Not bad, looks alright one problem is bugging me though.. I'll make a screenshot

Hey Again, here you go.

 

 

1) As you can see theirs a little discolored square, rather minor but a quick fix could be.

 

footer#bottom {

border-top: 50px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);

 

Removing that line completely, and increase your padding-top like so,

footer#bottom {

padding-top: 70px;

 

Now the icon in the rooter on the right side will not be aligned so that will need changing, so change this code.

 

add

footer#bottom a#attribution {

margin-top: 55px;

 

 

Please ignore 2) displayed in photo this was caused by me changing code

 

Maybe not the best fix, but it works

 

Hope this helps sorry for pointing out the little things

Haha, that's all great and all, but, that box is deliberate....

 

It may have no reason, no purpose, no possible explanation for its existence. It's just there because I want it to be.

 

If you read my post on Philippe Starck you should see what I mean

 

Thanks though

It needs date/time on the comments, especially if they're reverse chronological.

Completely missed that with some, er, slightly dodgy CSS. Fixed, cheers for the spot
