Nucleus CMS is an open-source blog management software package written in PHP, with a MySQL backend. It offers a system that is easy to install, but still offers maximum flexibility.
It is used to manage frequently-updated Web content. With a little tweaking it also can be used as a lightweight content management system, although there is currently no facility to upload file types other than graphic files to be displayed within the blog pages.
Nucleus CMS is no longer in development, although there is a fork available called LMNucleus.
Nucleus makes use of a callback function which has led to a plugin system that has inspired somewhere in the order of 50 to 100 distinct plugins (see below).
Nucleus allows multiple skins to co-exist, allowing to provide different views of the same weblog. As of Nucleus 2.0, there also is a skin import/export feature, allowing you to share skins with other Nucleus users.
