Here some links that might be of use. I only numbered them because that helps me out in ordering and organizing them. 1.Read it's Editorial Style Guide 2.Go Here so you can see a tutorial (I read through a little of it but not all of it... It does give information about Joomla you might need/want) 3.Click Here Thats a helpful site 4.Try the forums... Click Here to go to them 5.Joomla Module Tutorials 6.This site might be useful. It's called "Joomla Resource" 7. Joomla Cafe's Tutorial Page 8. Joomla Shack has some useful stuff but you have to register )registration is quick and easy just type in your name, e-mail, choose a username/password then check your e-mail click the activation link & login and you can browse all their stuff) 9. Search results for "Joomla Tutorial" in: MSN Ask Jeeves/ Google/ Yahoo/ LookSmart (on the search engine i used it does those 4 in one just click on name of search engine for other results) Those aren't in any particular order but they all have information about Joomla that could be useful to you. I couldn't find any tutorials for joomla that specifically said they were for building a site whether it was from scratch or not. Sorry. Oh yeah key words : might and could... I don't know if you would think those are useful but they have alot of information and stuff. Sorry if none of it has anything of use. Good luck with finding a good tutorial. All that was only 88 minutes worth of research anyway.

okay cool thanks for the information would have made that post longer but i reallly didnt have a clue as to what i was supposed to say in it so once i'm more active on here the forums get better? what kinda stuff am i supposed to contribute anyway... I dont have very much info for a website kinda forum anwyay

Yea for what you want from it wordpress does sound like it would work for you. Here are a few content management systems that I might recommend: Opencms Verge Drupal Typo3 Those seem to be pretty good and I did read some reviews of them. Best of luck with it

Hey peeps. I'm 14/f/usa and my names Ashleigh.

I normally use an online cms but the site I used for it no longer exists. I was wondering once you download the cms what do you do? *confused* this is soooo much more complicated then doing everything online.

Heres what you should look for in a cms:Features - make sure it has the ones you wantHtml/Coding - Make sure it doesn't make you do more than you want with html or codingSupport - It needs to have good support or you are pretty much on your ownUser-friendly - Should be user friendly tooWould have edited that post but it won't let me so:Make sure its compatible with your hosting company (like it doesn't use the wrong type of scripting or anything and make sure that it's supported by your host) otherwise you might run into a few problems also read reviews that users of the cms you want have written and some tutorials before getting it if you do all of that you shouldn't have much problem with it once you decide on oneok that was strange but i just noticed something else that might helpfind out all the info about it that you can ... well anyway if that doesn't help ne ask a specific question i know enough about them (been using different cms stuff for 4 years) that i should have an answer but heres a warning i mostly use online ones (the ones that you use online then it tells u some info and you can make an html code from it)
