Hi everyone,

I seem to be getting alot of requests for Wordpress and Joomla built sites, so was wondering if someone can recommend some good places to learn?


Thanks

Also google "Joomla 1.5 template tutorial"

I've been looking into this a lot over the past few days, I've opened my eyes to Joomla.

The posibilities and time saving features are endless.

Thanks for the links and advice, i'll definately take a good look at joomla.

But what about wordpress? is it a waste of time?

In my opinion it is good for blogs but I wouldn't develop a serious website in it. Just my opinion.

I wouldn't develop a serious site in Joomla, if you want a proper CMS, pony up the 150 and get Expression Engine.

Joomla is a good skill that will get you work as alot of people do request it, but it takes alot of time and design skills to get the website looking professional.

Wordpress i believe is alot easier to use and generally turns out looking better, simple is good.

I would recomend you play around with both of them for a little while and see which one you prefer.

I don't like Joomla - and so I would recommend WP over it any day.

I am learning Wordpress at the moment, and have built 2 custom themes in it... it's fairly easy, I don't find it as flexible for custom templates as CMS Made Simple...

Great blogging tool and set of plugins though!
