Suggestions for replacing this ASP admin with a PHP admin or use WordPress? Light CMS?

I'm planning to transfer CuedSpeech.org from Brinkster to Dreamhost - the new, redesigned website will be in PHP, not ASP.

Check out CuedSpeech.org's CMS admin for updating Events, Job Listings, etc - the password is learning. Here's the link - http://cuedspeech.org/admin.asp

What's your suggested PHP 'light CMS' replacement for this ASP 'light CMS' ? Steps I need to do?

Would integrated / customized WordPress & plugins do the job?

Thanks in advance and look forward to hearing from you!

By any chance, can you provide screenshots (using Photoshop, Fireworks, etc?) of the admin page where which you use to quickly add events, job listings - others for example - and in turn populate various pages, etc, etc?

Thanks again....

Here are some pictures of the admin area, you could learn more about the admin area by doing a Google or Youtube search on the Wordpress Admin panel.

There are also applications that allow to add pages, or post via your desktop.

Thanks! Have you taken a close look at the admin page - http://cuedspeech.org/admin.asp - it allows you to simply post information and choose 'events' in the drop down list. You can also post information for 'job listings' and choose 'job listings' from that same drop down list.

Let me know if you know of any plugins that can fit the bill?

I don't know of a plug-in that allows this function, but there is this theme that is pre-built for the functions your site has. It just looks a little nicer. The price is $79.00
