I'm a first time user of BSS and really impressed with what it does. But instead of a static site I wanted to use the content with a Content Management System so I would be able to update the content from the site itself. (The reason for this is because the site is hosted on an AWS Elastic Cloud and there is no access to FTP, so updating the site requires zipping the site and uploading to the server!)
I have experience with Wordpress, but don't like it a lot, and didn't want to use that. So in my search for an alternative, I came across Get Simple
In my situation, Get Simple was ideal, because it doesn't use a database, it stores the site in an XML file, so I didn't need to worry about setting up a database for it.
Transferring the content from BSS to GS proved to be relatively easy. GS uses a template system where the header and footer are saved in separate files, so all I needed to do was copy the exported BSS header and footer into those files.
The body of a page is similarly copied into each page created in the GS administration section. The code can be copied directly from the exported BSS body but it is necessary to edit the paths to images to match the folder specified in GS for images. (I guess I could edit the upload path for GS images somewhere so the same folder is used in GS as it is in BSS?) (Or it would be nice if there was an option in BSS to specify the image folder path??)
There are numerous plugins available for GS, and the code is vastly simpler than Wordpress!
I really like that I can now fix typos online, create pages, move content around the menu system, have "friendlier" URLs etc etc. I'd highly recommend BSS + GS for any simple sites.
