Several months ago, I created a small Joomla User Guide to help answer my clients frequently asked questions about Joomla. Now I have updated the guide to include the same procedures for Joomla 1.5.x
The following is a list of Joomla help procedures included in the guide:
The following is a simple test to determine if you and your website could benefit from a Content Management System. Read more »
Many blogs act as watchdogs and whistle blowers; they help you find out who is bad and who is good.

Several recent clients needed a photo gallery for Joomla. Their requirements, as usual, were that it be easy to use. One would assume that a Joomla photo gallery would be easy to use, but my experience with Joomla photo galleries tells me that is not the case. They are often difficult to install and confusing for the client to use. Read more »
