I, too, love Doug's book & reader concept, although Doug himself hates
my Perl coding style with yukky style sheets and tables. Such is life.
You reference a Messianic Jewish organization (CJF) which I am not
familiar with. Thanks for directing me to it. I've supported
http://www.ifcj.org/site/PageNavigator/eng/USENG_homenew for years. It
is not Messianic, but has a Christian heart for Israel.
The site needs a search capability which I am adding now. More yukky
Perl code. I started coding my own CMS in 1996, before commercial CMSs
came to widespread use. Whenever I try a new CMS I end up back in the
familiar territory of my own code. The CMS I like best is Textpattern,
but it is pretty much for blogs only. The AFTB site has a cross-
reference system which allows users to view the corpus of articles
from many different angles. I have not found a CMS that comes close to
do this. You can see the cross references in action by clicking the
'show all details' link under TOPICS in the left sidebar.
Thanks for your comments.

I would suggest if you are more comfortable with Perl than PHP to use Movable Type (http://www.movabletype.org) or its lightweight spinoff, Melody (http://openmelody.org/). :)
But I much prefer not to reinvent the wheel and yes, I know there are a mind-boggling array of CMSs out there and new ones cropping up nearly every day. Our web design studio has decided to focus on just 3 of them (WordPress, CMS Made Simple and sNews), although we know very well quite a few more (e.g., TextPattern, MovableType, GetSimple CMS and Chyrp).
My recommendation, only if you plan to build many more web sites, and not just the one at issue, is to explore a few of them and then find one you really like and focus on that one, branching out to learn one or two more as time permits. :)
You can do in WP and in CMSMS what you are doing on your site, but it does require a plugin (WordPress) or a module (CMS-MS).
