I discovered the link to LightCMS on Facebook. LightCMS is basically an online WYSIWYG editor driven web tool. I quickly signed up to kick the tires of this new tool. Please, when you have a second drop by and see the 285 Creative page I created there. I literally just signed up and I am yet to put LightCMS thru the hard core paces but I gotta say, just breezing thru I like what I see. I will update this post as I go so be sure to check...
