I would just wipe out the whole site and do a Drupal CMS, if that's what we're
looking for. We can add blogs to the Drupal system, and do a custom theme to be
similar to what we have. I would, however, prefer to install Drupal manually,
as the ones that tend to be in hoster panels tend to be pretty outdated.</span></font></p>

I did, albeit breifly. Found it too big for the purpose I wanted. I can look at
restricting access though.<br>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The general look of the
site is pretty good, and there’s plenty of graphics that could be used even if
we started from scratch again. I’m not entirely happy with the Editors’ blog
setup, as far as I can tell it was hacked together instead of written as a WordPress
theme. Looking at the ‘opinions’ blog I’ve installed, there’s a lot can be done
to tweak a theme.</span></font></p>

<p style='margin-left:36.0pt'><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>So, we’ll need a ‘house
style’ to be applied across the entire site – front, blogs, wiki. Assuming a
main colour for this style, then a different main colour but all the same
appearance for the opinions blog to distinguish it from the journalism process
of editors’. The wiki might be the trickiest part, but depending on how
fine-tuned access can be implemented on MediaWiki the whole thing may need hidden
from all but users granted access – in which case who cares if it is really
pretty. [Yes, this is for the embargoed wiki.]</span></font></p>
