PHP or wysiwyg Editing?

Hi kids,
I'm doing a website for a friend of mine who will need to edit content constantly. I am not familiar with PHP and my coder is on vacation. Can I find a PHP Content Management system that is easy to install into my CMS or can I just have my friend use a wysiwyg editor?

If your friend is trying to create a blog wordpress is the best along with the wysiwyg editor inside it. So you will have both CMS and wysiwyg editor

Is it a blog that your friend is trying to create, or more of a CMS-run web site?

I would recommend WordPress and TinyMCE Easy to use, and no need for HTML knowledge.

WYSIYG would be best for Blog...

One more vote for Wordpress. It'll give you wysiwyg editing, blog and simple cms all in one easy-to-install and easy-to-use package. The user just needs to learn the difference between posts and pages - everything else is intuitive.
From experience with a few standalone wysiwyg editors, installing these is much more work than installing WP.

I'd recommend drupal with tynimce, it's very good CMS and seo friendly. Use it on many sites.

wait til your programmer comes back, or pay someone who knows what they are doing.
