Dear Friend,
Joomla is an amazing content management system and can be used to create some dramatic and impressive websites. In fact it’s the only content management system you’ll ever need… however, it is certainly not easy to use when you first start.
I vividly remember when I first downloaded Joomla (and that was around 4 years ago), I was so excited, as I knew I was on the verge of creating great websites (I’d seen so many awesome examples of what people could do with Joomla), and I just couldn’t wait to start using it.
But when I opened the program for the first time I was in “shock”, I felt completely lost and totally overwhelmed because I just couldn’t do anything. It was so frustrating!
Everything seemed so complicated, it made me feel like I needed a PhD just to install Joomla! I had a sinking feeling in my stomach, I think “despair” would be a pretty good way to describe the feeling :-)
I didn’t know where to start to just do the simplest of tasks, and when I saw the manual, I felt worse still…
… You see I did NOT want to become a Joomla genius, I just wanted to feel comfortable doing the most common tasks, and frankly the thought of having to read a huge manual or thick book just to make my website was plain depressing!
What I wanted to know was the shortcuts… not everything, just the simple stuff that I was most likely going to use, for example:
* I wanted to know how to install Joomla…
* I wanted to create some pages and add some content quickly and easily…
* I wanted to add some pictures, but without compromising quality…
* I wanted to make cool looking websites, without headaches or stress.
* And many other basic tasks - I’m sure you know what I mean.
Think of CMS as a middle layer between a database and the browser that visits. The middle layer is responsible for protecting the DB and presenting the best template of formatted info to the visitor, no matter their choice of browser.
Blogging can be like a monologe chat room. In fact, the old bulletin boards where everyone posted a comment or amended to a comment, reminds me of blogger frameworks.
