Content Management Systems

I suppose it's a fairly common story. I'm now having to manually update sites I've made whenever there need to be changes and it's getting tedious. I've tried using drupal before, but it felt like "too much". What CMS's do you all have experience with, and which would fall under the category of "minimalistic"?

Thanks!

I recently installed Wordpress for someone and I was pleasantly surprised with the flexibility and ease of install.
its also fully ajax so it almost feels like a desktop application. installing updates and plugins also requires no more than a mouseclick.

What kind of updates are we talking about, Kaz? New articles, modified stylesheets?

Common examples would be: updating a list of students, archiving a previous list, maybe adding a news article.

WP should be fine, perhaps with the fckeditor plugin so your clients can do simple editing themselves.
