I had never heard of Joomla until about 3 months ago and have never coded in anything other than mainframe type languages before so I was extremely lacking of knowledge in this type of development environment. After doing oodles of reading of books, manuals, and Joomla forums, I decided to give it a go for my own personal business website. It wasn't easy by any stretch of the imagination and there were some late nights and profanity strewn tirades once in awhile, but I am happy to say that my site is up and running and looks fantastic. My site, http://www.thedirtdealers.com isn't complete yet and there is much work to do, but since it is my first adventure in this arena, I am very proud of it. Check it out!
Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to everybody associated with Joomla and the folks that develop the extensions for it. Wow, what a wonderful group of people and products!!! Donations will be forthcoming!!! I've got a long way to go with my learning curve, but it has been a fun journey thus far and I am looking forward to it in the future.
You Joomla folks ROCK BABY!!!!
Doug
