ok,i guess i'll stick with Joomla. It looks fantastic to me and the sites i've seen made with it just liked. What do u think of it and are there any tutorials of how to build a simple site from scratch? -I'm so afraid to tackle smth like this as i'm not a programmer, just a little designer -

I tried out the demo site for Joomla, and it looks really organized. Plus it has features aplenty. If you're thinking of putting up a big site, this is a good one. On the other hand, if you're aiming more like a blog/small personal site, then either Nucleus or WordPress will do nicely.

Here some links that might be of use. I only numbered them because that helps me out in ordering and organizing them.

1.Read it's Editorial Style Guide
2.Go Here so you can see a tutorial (I read through a little of it but not all of it... It does give information about Joomla you might need/want)
3.Click Here Thats a helpful site
4.Try the forums... Click Here to go to them
5.Joomla Module Tutorials
6.This site might be useful. It's called "Joomla Resource"
7. Joomla Cafe's Tutorial Page
8. Joomla Shack has some useful stuff but you have to register )registration is quick and easy just type in your name, e-mail, choose a username/password then check your e-mail click the activation link & login and you can browse all their stuff)
9. Search results for "Joomla Tutorial" in: MSN Ask Jeeves/ Google/ Yahoo/ LookSmart (on the search engine i used it does those 4 in one just click on name of search engine for other results)

Those aren't in any particular order but they all have information about Joomla that could be useful to you. I couldn't find any tutorials for joomla that specifically said they were for building a site whether it was from scratch or not. Sorry.

Oh yeah key words : might and could... I don't know if you would think those are useful but they have alot of information and stuff. Sorry if none of it has anything of use. Good luck with finding a good tutorial. All that was only 88 minutes worth of research anyway.

Thanks man for that time u took. I really don't have all that time and furthermore that's why i love forums there are many other possible wise-enough guys to give u a hand without reinventing the weel as long as they already know the answers. Also when i know anything asked here i try to help cause it takes less to give an answer than doing research on a tottaly new topic, which i would if i only had time enough. Thanks again and keep up, u're doing great. I'd like forums have more people like yourself.
