Have you ever had the need to produce a web site that needed dynamic CMS features and capabilities but felt that using one of the usual suspects (Drupal, Joomla!, Wordpress, etc.) was the equivalent of using a sledgehammer to kill a fly?

That's certainly the feeling I had when finally getting around to refactoring a small site of mine that has been on the Internet since 1997.  There had been numerous updates and tweaks made to the site over the years, but it was still based on static html pages and a bunch of customized (and poorly organized) javascripts.  Adding or modifying content was a manual process.

I had almost talked myself into using Wordpress, as all I really needed was the framework and the equivalent of the Wordpress Page content type.  But, at the last moment, I stumbled upon a lightweight CMS called GetSimple.  It is advertised as "The Simplest Content Management System Ever" and appeared to have the basic features and capabilities I was looking for.  I downloaded a copy and installed it in a subdirectory off of my web server's root.
