A gentle introduction to Joomla!

I've been using Dreamweaver for years, but am now being told that HTML and static sites are on their way out, and that I must learn Joomla! Unfortunately the videos bought on-line assume too much, there are no courses in any college within fifty miles, and neither the bookshops nor library have any books. Am I asking for the moon, or is there a book that will take a sixty-something gently through Content Management systems?

In my day job I write about Blood Pressure Treatment and treat those who suffer from blood pressure problems. Low blood pressure is a particular interest and I'm often asked about how to lower cholesterol levels. A healthy heart is becoming a huge focus for many of us nowadays. Improving your blood pressure control and thus the health of your heart and circulation system is really important. My most recent online "adventure" is to start a facility for people to ask me my opinion and to provide high quality health information by answering medical questions online.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also have a special interest in the problem of feeling Tired All the Time and in those who suffer from chronic fatigue or lethargy. This seems to tie in also to skin care issues or skin treatment problems and suggestions. Tiredness and fatigue can lead to major problems for many individuals in modern society and the way that this can affect all areas of general health can be quite invasive in terms of daily life and coping skills.

My work with footballers and athletes leads to a focus on Painful Shoulder conditions and on the problems associated with frozen shoulder or whiplash injuryRotator cuff injury causes problems for many of my patients.

When not working I daydream about my next amazing european vacation trip  My favorite European cities include Paris and Barcelona and my next blog project will be to write about the best way to spend a night in Paris and how to find an apartment in Barcelona. I just love European travel in all its forms.

Hi Oldcodger

Joomla is actually very intuitive and pretty easy to use. If you can cope with dreamweaver then you'll find Joomla pretty straight forward.

The main thing I found is that its much easier if you sign up with an ISP who already have their servers configured and Joomla preinstalled for you - makes life a thousand times easier.

Try Siteground.com

Cheap - efficient and very customer friendly - with Joomla, Drupal and others preinstalled for you to play with

I created this Europe Vacation site over the course of a long weekend - looks professional but most of the stuff is built into the template I bought from Joomlashack

Good luck - go for it - you'll enjoy it I promise.
