Joomla CMS is simply the BEST solution for setting up your content-based website. Period! If you need to make changes or updates to your site on a regular basis, and can't be bothered with all that HTML work, then you should be looking at a Content Management System.

Joomla leads the field in this area - AND IT'S FREE - so it is definitely time you checked it out.

Continuing the series with tutorials 11 thru 15.

PLEASE BE AWARE:

I did not record these videos, they were recorded in England. The videos are in regular Camtasia format, but not the large sizes I record in, so they are smaller.

They will take longer to laod, so be patient.

They also vary in sound quality - so you will need to adjust your speakers for each one.
