Hotaru Demos
Social Bookmarking
The most popular use for Hotaru CMS is a Digg-style social bookmarking site. This demo uses the Bookmarking plugin as a base, and includes voting and comments.
By adding additional plugins, you can enhance yoru site with social networking features such as messaging, followers and user journals.
Magazine
This demo shows off the Magazine plugin. It was designed especially for site-owners wanting to present full, user-submitted articles instead of links.
Images are handled for you. Just choose a photo from your computer and Hotaru will upload, cache, resize, create a thumbnail and position it in the article. Easy for you, and your growing team of authors!
Journals
User journals are "mini-blogs" within user profiles. Other users can comment on each journal entry, and all user journals are aggregated onto a single page so you can get a quick overview of the latest posts.
The Journal plugin can be used as a standalone mini-blogging site, or as part of a wider Hotaru site. Why not set it up for your friends and family?
Static
The best example of a static site is the one you're on right now, HotaruCMS.org.
Static sites are made up of a few simple HTML templates which you can edit as you please. Creating new pages is really easy, and you can add widgets around them to give your site a "live" feel. You could even add Journals or Bookmarking to your site!
