Can anyone please suggest a lightweight CMS - for a smallish website that has the potential to grow and will probably have several authors wanting to have a finger in the pie. Someone suggested MovableType but I thought that was blog software.
Would using a CMS help regulate dynamic pages?

"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

For those who don't know - CMS means Content Management Software....
Regarding MovableType:
Jee - i personally don't have any real experience with CMS - but i'd recommend you have a look at:
Opensource CMS

Regarding MovableType:
Url - hereIs MovableType a Web CMS?
By Brice Dunwoodie :: Category » Micro CMS
The question that was posed to me recently was: "Can I use Movable Type as a Web CMS solution?" My answer: "Yes, but...".
Movable Type is the prolific blogging tool produced by Ben and Mena Trott, the dynamic duo running Silicon Valley's SixApart. Its also the technology behind this and 1000's of other websites.
But is Moveable Type a Web Content Management System? If one answers this question empirically, yes, it certainly is. There is probably more web content being managed by MT than by any other single software product. Its been downloaded nearly a million times since its initial release. It is powering countless blogs and increasingly web sites too. MT is everywhere. MT is web content management.
Now does MT have all the features we've come to expect from a WCM product? No, it does not. Will it eventually have those features? I doubt it ever will. MT is blogging. MT is rapid publishing. MT is CMS, but it is different.
Blogging has been associated with meaningless drivel. We've learned about hating the DMV, the mind of your new puppy, Paris Hilton, the weather in NYC, etc., etc.
Blogging is more than this. Blogging and content tools such as Movable Type have invented a new mode and a new tone of human interaction on the Web. With this has come a new form of web content. Movable Type manages this web content.

Gave it a try a while back - didn't like it. I suggest going Mason with mod_perl instead.GlitchFreak wrote:Mambo, i hear, is quite a usefull CMS package. It's also has the functionality to be themed.

Resources:
Mason: http://www.masonhq.com/ and http://www.masonbook.com/ (got to have book)
mod_perl: http://perl.apache.org/
Hosting (mod_perl): http://www.bytemark.co.uk/index.html - User Mode Linux (aka root access for you) at below R200 per month. Also search google for more Linux UML hosting. I find that most of the hosts give around 3GB disk with 1TB traffic and root access (SSH) for below R200 per month.
Cheers
