hi my name is rod Martin and I'll be
00:04
your instructor for this course as you
00:06
can see on the screen we have a seven
00:08
step process for building a Joomla
00:11
website and that's what this is it's an
00:13
introduction to site building using
00:16
Joomla right out of the box the first
00:19
step is planning if you don't plan well
00:21
well you're probably not going to
00:23
execute well and so we'll talk a little
00:25
bit about that we've done most of the
00:28
planning for you in this class
00:30
number two is installed and I'll go over
00:34
four ways you can get started with
00:35
Joomla number three is content content
00:39
is everything in fact you can't start
00:43
building the rest of your Joomla site
00:45
until you at least get some of the
00:48
content in preferably most of it because
00:51
that's really what Joomla is designed to
00:53
do it's a content management system I'll
00:56
talk a little bit more about that in an
00:58
upcoming video number four is extending
01:02
Joomla comes with some fantastic
01:04
extensions there are five kinds of
01:07
extension I'll cover each one in depth
01:09
we'll look at each of the extensions
01:12
that comes with Jim Moore out of the box
01:14
and we'll build that right into the site
01:17
that we're going to create number five
01:20
is design and this is where we start to
01:23
see that look and the feel of our site
01:25
start to come together and it's really
01:27
hard to do that before you do the other
01:30
steps although you can apply your
01:32
template at any point you really can't
01:35
get the look and feel that you want
01:37
until your content is in and your
01:39
extensions are cell number six is people
01:44
people is an important part user
01:46
management in Joomla is very
01:49
sophisticated
01:49
it's called access control and it
01:52
determines what people can see and what
01:54
people can do and finally number seven
01:57
managing your site I'm going to talk
02:00
about managing your site all the way
02:02
through the course but at the end I'm
02:04
going to give you some tips on and
02:05
things you can do to make sure your site
02:08
stays and really healthy
02:10
all right just a couple of things before
02:13
we get started number one this is a
02:15
participatory question by that I mean I
02:18
encourage you all the way through to do
02:21
Z exercises with me it's one thing to
02:24
watch a video and video is great but you
02:27
really learn when you do the exercises
02:30
with me I give you plenty of time to do
02:32
that and the good thing is of course
02:34
it's video so you can anyway number two
02:37
this is video so you can pause along the
02:41
way that's the great thing about video
02:43
trains if you need to stop whine you can
02:46
if you need to run out and grab a coffee
02:49
or have an image out of Google or off
02:52
your hard drive you can pause the video
02:54
and rewind it watch it as many times as
02:58
you want
02:58
finally and this is an introduction to
03:02
joomla shoes i mean it powers some of
03:06
the most impressive websites around the
03:07
world it's an amazing content management
03:10
system and in these 40 videos i can't
03:13
possibly help you see every nuance every
03:16
possible option that you might have my
03:20
goal is that by the time we're done
03:23
you'll have this site up on your screen
03:27
alright are you ready let's dive in
