Why BruceCMS?
1. It's Simple
2. It's Simple

The main reason to use BruceCMS is the simplicity of the Templating System. It's Really Simple™. All that's needed to st
art editing content with the BruceCMS is a simple php variable. 


NOTE: BruceCMS 2.0, while functional, is most likely highly insecure, and probably doesn't work half of the time. It may 
not be the best idea to use BruceCMS 2.0 in a production environment, but if you want to, knock your socks off.


Getting Started:
  -Copy everything into the BruceCMS directory. Be sure to copy the .htaccess. If something isn't working, it may have 
  not been copied.
  -Create a MySQL Database for BruceCMS
  -Run install.php


Using BruceCMS:
  -Drop an html file into the BruceCMS root directory.
  -Replace the things that you want to edit with <?=$variable_name?>
    -Some predefined variables are:
      $title
      $default_page
      $content (You'll have to create content with the management interface to fully use $content)
  -If you want to use other variables, you have to create them under the Variables section in the management interface.
  -Menus can be created using the management interface. To add a menu to your template, use <?=$menu_name?>
  -Create a page using the management interface, and set the template to your html file.
  -Go to: http://yourserver/pathtoBruceCMS/yourpage


It is possible to include variables and menus in your pages content. There'll be an error if you don't create them 
before using them, but after you create them, they'll work fine.


Most Languages have a 'Hello World' that shows how one creates a (simple) program in that language. Here's BruceCMS's 
very Simple Blog:
