I am about to fall in love with this simple and straight forward "content management system" / "web gallery tool". It is not easy to classify it but several demos and reference sites are linked on their project pages:http://www.indexhibit.org/install/"indexhibit" seems to be an easy to use system (php4, mysql, ...) to display your content. It uses a very clean two column layout and is basically designed to show some text and some pictures in an "Exposé" like manner.From playing around for 20 minutes with their demo site: I can say that the experience for the user and the administrator of a site both seems very smooth and enjoyable. I will see how the installation will work out on a plain vanilla web hoster and will update. But so far I am quite excited that a simple smooth cms might be in sight for my two / three personal domains which still display the "under construction" text for the last three years.

Update 1: Found my favourite Theme "horizontal" with customization options

I just found my favourite display theme for my "exhibits". The horizontal theme is really slick. And in its plugin/theme .php file you can easily find the customization bells and whistles.and it can also be administrated from my iPad. Great.
