It could have been Blogsmith

The idea I submitted while at Aol was to make Blogsmith open source. While WordPress, Drupal, Joomla and whatnot are abundant in the market, a PHP-based CMS backed by a company like Aol would have been a game-changer; or at least that was what I hoped for.

Was glad to see upvotes on my idea. I wasn’t the only one then!

Years down the line, it’s WordPress all over (including a lot of Aol brands/acquisitions) and that doesn’t look like changing in the foreseeable future. Who knew WordPress would evolve so fast!

    Why don’t you rather talk about AEM?

      Well, I do. However, it is not wise to put them in the same sentence. They are built for different people and purposes.
