Introducing Joomla
“Joomla! is an award-winning Content Management System (CMS) that will help you build websites and other powerful online applications. Best of all, Joomla! is an open source solution that is freely available to everybody. - www.joomla.org”
Joomla can be used to power all sorts of websites. I currently use it for example on my BattleCity Classic website. The great thing about Joomla is that it is extremely flexible. You can use it to manage a small website, or you can turn it into a complete community portal by installing modules that add extra functionality. Joomla is an open source project written in PHP, so you can easily find information on ways you can create your own customized modules for your own specific needs.
The best part about using a system like Joomla is that it makes it extremely easy to quickly add new content to your website. You can also make updates to your site from anywhere without needing to use any FTP software to upload new files.
Another great thing aboout Joomla is that it is very easy to install. Once you upload the Joomla files to your server, you simply need to access the installation page and follow the instructions on screen. If you run into trouble, you can find a full installation guide at http://help.joomla.org.
If you want a very affordable and professional looking website, you should definitely consider using Joomla if you don’t have the time to design the website yourself!

I’ve also posted a brief introduction to PHP, which links to some useful tutorials and resources that will help you get PHP installed on your computer if you wish to test locally. All this information is a bit much to swallow all at once, so today, I want to get started right at the very basics and make a very simple PHP page. [...]
