Heard of the hype of ExpressionEngine for a while. Now it’s time to try.

ExpressionEngine is yet another PHP/MySQL CMS. It can do blogging and usual CMS job. From the comment I heard, ExpressionEngine is well known for its rich feature set and ease of use.

EE is not open source. Though the source code is visible and edible by PHP web application nature, you don’t have freedom to redistribute it like other free software.

The basic version called “ExpressionEngine Core” is free to download. The full version, with more features and tech support, is sold $99.95 for personal use and $249.95 for commercial user.

The following text is my note of trying EE Core on MAMP environment. Since the other CMS I’m only proficient is Drupal (this site is run by Drupal) so I will write it ‘in comparison’ with Drupal.
