Anchor is an open source content management system originally developed by Visual Idiot. It is intended to be used as a light weight CMS designed in mind for art directed blog posts, but the feature set may expand in future versions. Anchor is written in PHP using a MySQL database backend. The current beta version is Anchor CMS 0.7 Press Anchor was reviewed by SpeckyBoy, a well known online design and web development magazine, in March of 2012. Features Anchor offers a number of features and conveniences to users, site administrators and developers, including: * Ease of publishing using direct HTML which permits experienced developers to publish content without having to deal with complicated tag systems. (though a more user friendly editor is planed for release) * Preview of both the final "look" of content and of its XHTML. * Standards-compliant HTML5 and CSS "out of the box", with all layout in the default setup handled via stylesheets. * A commenting system, including several measures to combat spam. * Syndication of site content via RSS and Atom. * An integrated image management system which allows the association of images with particular pieces of content. (coming in a future release of Anchor) * UTF-8 publishing and support for many languages, including English, French, Czech, Russian. * Unlike most other blogging software, Anchor does not natively support Pingback or Trackback.
