Hi, As a new user of Joomla the list Marc put together was dead on. These are all the same things I've been working through and some of them I'm still learning. If I knew that I could pick up some pointers at the JUG meetings it would have motivated me to take the trip into the city from NJ. I am planning on getting to the meetings in any case but that would surely have got me out the door. I know somebody can show me how to do something in a few minutes that will take me an hour to read and research the web to figure out. As for the meetings being just a beginners workshop, that doesn't sound so good, but with the RSVP option being discussed and targeting what people have questions about, a 10-15 minutes at the start of the meeting as breakout mini-sessions sounds cool.

He has a newsletter he sends out with these tips. ________________________________ iTeachMe(TM) online learning system for Joomla!(R) web development See us on: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube ________________________________ From: Mark Simko <masi...@verizon.net> To: joomla@lists.nyphp.org Sent: Fri, December 11, 2009 11:10:24 AM Subject: Re: [joomla] basics demos On Fri, 2009-12-11 at 10:54 -0500, joomla-requ...@lists.nyphp.org wrote: > Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2009 07:50:33 -0800 (PST) > That's a long list of how-to's.
