Joomla! 1.5 Content Editor's Guide In Detail

Much of 2009 for Tracey was spent writing this how-to guide for anyone who has been delivered their brand new Joomla! website, but doesn't quite know what to with it. 

Written for the novice - no coding, jargon or overly boring technical explanations allowed, this book isnt meant to appear on the Dymocks Top 100, its for anyone who wants to update, manage and spruce up their website without having to outsouce.

What's it about

Often a company hires consultants or web developers to build a Joomla! web site, and then takes over running the site in house. If you are a content administrator concerned with creating and maintaining the 'product' of a content management site, and not modifying its code, this book is all you need.

This practical, hands-on guide will give you all the knowledge needed to maintain and edit your web site as a content-rich place that visitors return to again and again. There are many books available to help you administer a Joomla! site, but this is the only one specifically for Content Administrators. It is a quick-start guide that best serves content administrators and editors and doesn't cover designing or creating a site. However, anybody who has built their own site but needs help with article management, multimedia management, search engine optimization, and more will also benefit from it.

Indulging my love of feathers and beaks (no, not in a naughty way thank you!),  Ive been working on a purely html and css based image gallery.  Mostly to remind myself of how easy it can be as well as to practice.  I chose this theme as birds can be  irresistably coloured and vibrant to look at (I spent a lovely hour on Flikr sourcing these images). 

My Dad used to keep an aviary in our suburban backyard.  As kids my brothers and I grew up with sulphur crested versions of Fred, Wilma, Betty and Barney, along with a troup of quails and the occassional peahen.

Visit: Le Birdcage.  Best viewed in Firefox though.

Im also working on a small hot rod gallery, based on a few images from the Wintersun Festival we attended a couple of years back, thanks to my bro' and his interest in Chevy's and the like.
