Okay, so big change! (I hope I’m not crazy) I’m changing my CMS to Joomla.
Wow, sounds crazy now that’s I’ve “said” it.
After doing my own research and discussing my options with Elaine, I have decided to officially switch gears and switch from WordPress to Joomla. The type of interactivity I’d like to have on the site won’t be supported by WP. Luckily, being a slow poke is paying off. I didn’t have much done to my site previously and so I didn’t loose any physical work. However, I’ve done TONS of WordPress reserach and reading and now I’m starting over….
I’ve got Joomla loaded onto my site easy enough, but would like to put it on my local server. So, off to do that, then I need to go back in the lectures and re-read for Joomla! Hopefully, I’ll be able to post later about the new modules I will have chosen.
Here goes nothing….

YAY!! Welcome to the Joomla folks!!! Your WP research will NOT go to waste…I saw an odesk job for a WP website paying $1000…but they wanted it up in a few days! I highly suggest Paul’s find…the visual guide, since it leads right up to this week’s assignment….and you can skip the install part! http://www.realsheep.net/SchoolHelps/JoomlaVisualGuide15.pdf

[...] Nancy has been a big help and pointed me in the right direction initially. You can see her comment here. Paul’s Sheepishly Blogging was very helpful in my switchover as well. So, thank you [...]
