The elegant template tags of Textpattern are more than capable of handling a website's diverse content. Simple to understand on initial website design, and easy to maintain when changes are warranted.

Textpattern 4, darling friends and beloved comrades, is now available.
What’s in a number? Taking a long squinty look at the way Textpattern has developed since it first appeared back in the wilds of 2001, it becomes clear that, when viewed from a perspective other than my own (I decided recently to ordain myself the world’s slowest control freak, ahem), it’s very good software, which has gone through remarkable evolution and certainly achieved dare-one-utter-the-phrase maturity.
That was back in August of 2005, Dean stayed involved till November of that year. He returned to the forum for one last time to say thanks for a Christmas present he had received from community donations.

Fifteen years after it's conception, eleven years after a stable release, the CMS we call Textpattern could use a face-lift.
