Raison d'être

I decided to learn Joomla by building a site about learning Joomla. It took about a week, and, for me, it was fun. I guess I'm supposed to put a bang (exclamation mark!) after every mention of Joomla!. Forgive me if I don't.

The obligatory Flash banner?

Obligatory? I don't mean that the template requires a Flash banner. It's just a reminder to all designers to include a Flash banner in their proposal to avoid being considered totally clueless. There's a whole page about the banner notalinkyet here /notalinkyet. Note that links within text to other pages are not automated/easy. Kinda surprising. I am really NOT liking the way the CSS in this particular template automatically capitalizes each word of an H3. I want "obligatory" here, not "Obligatory".

Don't worry... I am only displaying the Flash banner on this and one other page (the one about the Flash banner).

Boilerplate info from the folks at Joomla

Joomla is an open source content management system platform for publishing content on the World Wide Web. It is written in PHP, and stores data in MySQL. Currently, Joomla! has the largest 3rd party developer and designer community, with over 160,000 current registered users, over 2,000 templates, and 3,000 extensions.

Since Joomla is based on PHP and MySQL, you're building powerful applications on an open platform anyone can use, share, and support.
