I get your point.
Most of the content on the site is UGC. I didn't write it,
I just send a link to it if I think it can help. 99% of the
people on this list don't know that the site is mine.
So what about a good article system? :)
Personally I use wordpress on my blog and a custom set of scripts for my
other sites. When you say "a good article system" it's like asking
"what's the best fish?" What exactly do you want it to do?
The best place to start is http://opensourcecms.com/ and try a few out.
When you've found a couple that look like they meet most of your
requirements, install them and evaluate them properly. That's how I came
to the conclusion that custom solutions tend to work best for the kind
of sites I develop. YMMV.

1st, I never said I was any authority about anything :) I'm just
building the weber sites as a hobby...
Hobby or not, when you publish information on the web without a big message
saying "I have no frickin' idea what I'm talking about", you are presenting
yourself as an authority on the subject. And when you answer questions on a
mailing list with links to your site you are re-enforcing that point.
2nd, I beg to disagree. Validation has allot to do with how pages
look. In many cases, if you have differences between browsers, or if
things don't look like you expect, validating the page solves the
problem.
That's as may be, but it doesn't mean validation guarantees it'll render
"correctly", or even as you expect.

I think we are a bit OT here :)
I was looking to replace my article system and it looks like many
people prefer to see the one that I have now.
I'll look at the feedback people post here and decide what to do.
Thanks to everyone on the input.

Not sure why it's not working with FF. the page passes validation at
validator.w3.org.
Validation has never and will never mean it looks right. And it
worries me that someone presenting themselves as an authority on web
development would think so.

This is interesting.
I wonder if more people feel the same.
Compare the articles on weberdev.com (my site) :
Example : http://www.weberdev.com/ViewArticle/486
Completely un-usable on Firefox 1.5.0.5 with current Gentoo Linux.
I've got a full-width blue screen of death, and then a 1-inch (?)
column of text (unreaedable) off screen to the right.
I *would* like this better, if the layout actually worked.
To the articles on devarticles.com for example.
http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Java/Getting-Started-with-Java-2D/
There's an article on that page?
Where?
:-)
Honestly, I can almost always find the same content on a site with
much lower ad density, and will always choose a cleaner simple site
over something that cluttered/messy.
