  * Any story type may now be a category index (aka, "cover").


About Krang

Krang is an open source web publishing/content management system, particularly well suited for high volume magazine-style web sites.  Originally developed in 2003 by Primedia, Krang is currently used by hundreds of well-known web sites including New York Magazine, Motor Trend, Soap Opera Digest, In-Fisherman, Guns & Ammo, Florida Sportsman, Game & Fish, Equisearch.com, Power & Motor Yacht, and many more.

Krang provides a powerful and easy to use story and media editing environment for website editors, as well as a complete template development environment for web designers. On the back-end, Perl programmers can customize Krang to control the data entered in the story editor and add code to drive the templates to build output. Krang can be enhanced with add-ons containing new skins and other new features. Krang easily handles large data sets and can manage multiple websites in a single installation.
