You've probably heard the term CMS, or Content Management System before - and it's exactly what it says, a system for managing your content.
It's like a set of Lego's for your web site -- put the pieces together in hundreds or thousands of different ways to create the exact web site you need.
What it means to you and I is freedom! With the right CMS and some know-how, you can put up a comprehensive web site in an evening.
Not only that, but with a CMS your content is separate from your HTML -- which means you can add, edit or delete content without dinking around with any code!
If you can use a word processor, you can add content to a Joomla-based site. And that means, finally...
You Can Get Your Spouse Involved
Without Threats And Crying!
Well, your mileage may vary, of course, but when it's point and click easy to add a new article to a web site, your chances of getting family help just skyrocketed!
So if Joomla is the next best thing to sliced bread, why isn't everyone using it?
Because it's too freaking complicated!
However, there's a computer geek in Alaska who spent hours banging his head against the wall so you don't have to -- you can benefit from his hours (days!) of Joomla research and skip the stinking learning curve!
He created a series of screen-cast videos that walk you through all of the "must know" areas of Joomla. In about an hour you'll learn how to install Joomla (oh, did I mention that CMS software is free?), configure all the pieces, add and edit content, and a whole lot more.
Here's the table of contents for the videos:
- Introduction (3:59) - Covers the basics of content management systems and shows a sample of what can be done - quickly - with Joomla (when you know how!).
- Install with Fantastico (4:11) - If you have cPanel and Fantastico, you have a great way to install Joomla and this video will walk you through the process.
- Install Manually (8:15) - Installing Joomla manually isn't a problem when you have the step-by-step instructions in this video.
- Changing Permissions (3:53) - This is a task you'll have to perform more than once in your online business, whether with Joomla or some other software. This video shows you it's nothing to fear!
- Working with Modules (7:57) - These are the core building blocks of Joomla -- stack them in the right order and you're great! Do it wrong, and you'll be banging your head against your keyboard.
- Installing Components (10:49) - When Joomla alone isn't enough for you, find out where to find more than 1,300 components that can enhance the capabilities of your web site. And most are free!
- Adding Content (20:01) - Honestly, this is the part of Joomla that's the most complicated -- unless you watch this video. When you do, it'll be a "light bulb" moment. (I would have paid $100 for this information alone when I was struggling with Joomla.)
- Changing Themes (3:41) - It's like putting on a new outfit -- it's still "you" but the look has changed. That's what you can do with Joomla in a snap. Change the look and feel, but keep the content.
- Changing the Logo (6:20) - The crowning touch after you install a new theme -- change the logo so the site is uniquely yours. (Each theme requires a different file to change, but this video shows you exactly what to look for.)
- The Wrap-Up (1:27) - A summary of what you've learned, as well as some online resources that will help you in using Joomla in the future.
- Bonus: Configure MySQL (2:17) - For folks who have to install Joomla manually, here's a walkthrough of how to create the MySQL database you need (don't worry, it's a point-and-click operation).
Is this the most comprehensive tutorial on Joomla on the planet? No! Because you don't need to know everything in order to run a great Joomla-based site. What you'll learn is just what you need in order to get started -- fast!
Use this powerful content management system to build your own membership site, online catalog, portal site, etc. Joomla is very cool -- but so extensive that you can easily get lost while trying to configure it for your specific needs. Now just follow the video tutorials and learn what you need to get Joomla up and running in about an hour!
Here's A Bonus Feature Worth Grabbing!
One of the best things about Joomla is how it separates content from the look and feel. So changing the look of your site is as easy as uploading a new theme, or template. But there's a problem with looking for new templates using the search engines:
"...after looking at your videos I went shopping around for themes and templates, and they seem to cost $35-$75 for a nice joomla template. There is not a huge amount of low hanging free templates, at least that I could find."
I received that in email from someone who bought the pre-release version of Joomla In About An Hour and decided it would be helpful if I showed off some of the places online where you can find good Joomla templates. So I'm including an extra bonus video showing that and more.
There are hundreds of templates you can use -- if you know where to find them! This video will give you what you need to know!
The complete set of tutorial videos that make up Joomla In About An Hour sells for just $29.95 -- and since it's a digital product you can watch it online immediately or download to your computer (recommended for broadband users only as downloadable file is 128MB in size).
That low price includes the extra bonus video showing exactly where to find Joomla themes you can use right away (and explains the pros and cons of free vs paid Joomla themes).
