nice tut. I'm just a hobbyist BUILDING sites, but used to work with xhtml+css. Now I try getting a grip on Joomla, and oh boy... sorry oh man!

A question I'd like to ask is following. Sometimes there is a clickable text in the header, in stead of the logo. #logo > a - Moreover it's in a TABLE-cell (god forbid, but hey... Joomla is often table-based, which isn't so great. It's a mystery to me how it is positioned. Do you have a tut on that?

[alexwestconsulting]

Joomla's (like the other cms's) greatest strength, its modularity, is also its greatest weakness. Understanding the way that positions work (no, i don't have a tut yet) is extremely important when tracking code down, but the code could be almost anywhere. Often times there IS some kind of hard coded links in the template itself, but generally things are pretty dynamic. One way to track down code is to always have a local unzipped copy of everything you use, and search that,

What is the easiest CMS to start learning with? I am creating a community based website with a forum, but the forums may or may not be separate from the portal.

[alexwestconsulting]

if you want is easy with community capability, it is much easier to get phpbb up and running then pretty much any other free option. it's just much more difficult with phpbb to make a traditional looking website.

if you want to to it ALL in the same platform, joomla isn't terribly hard as long as you don't get sidetracked by other extensions. you will need

1) joomla

2) community builder

3) kunena forum

my cp doesnt have a template manager in extesions, can u help?

[alexwestconsulting]

I'm not sure what you mean. Joomla administrator control panel doesn't have a template manager option? If so, the only 2 ways this can happen is:

1) your joomla instance is corrupt. this is unlikely

2) the account with which you log in is NOT the "super administrator" but a lesser admin with less admin rights, such as manager or plain admin. This is much more likely.

I tried to go to your website, but what I got was "Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer!" from google search. Did you have the new site?

Hey i have a quick question for you - at around 5mins 20 sec in your video, right after you upload your new orange coloured logo image, your joomla's top menu graphics (user 3 possision if im not mistaken) seem to dissappear? How come? I have now successfully changed the Logo image on a default joomla template but my top menu graphics are still in place.
