Joomla! attempt

Ouch, my head hurts is all I can say.

It’s been a while since I had to hold open a book and take it all in,… page by page, trying to figure out what it’s trying to explain, with all the words, and lack of pictures. How bad is that? I’m in need of pictures with my tutorial.

And not having the same version of software can also make things just a bit more difficult, as the menus, layout and buttons are all different. Hmph, I sound so much like a bloody pansy…

Also, unfortunately, I find myself getting quite easily distracted… checking other references, ebooks, pdf files, online videos, and library books for the answer I’m looking for, as some of the books I have with me now, just doesn’t seem to be explaining everything the way I wish it would.

I’ve also found that it’s quicker to learn things by trial and error with me. Though, that’s not always the case, when things go terribly wrong. Definitley realised that I’m more of a hands-on person, and not a bookworm no more. If only the literature I have explained exactly what I wanted. Though, I guess there tutorials and manuals are written in a particular way, so that it’d be quite useful.

In anycase, my adveture with learning Joomla continues.

Currently reading: Joomla! A User’s Guide: Building a Successful Joomla! Powered Website (Barrie M. North) and Joomla! For Dummies ( Steve Holzner Ph.D. & Nancy Conner) amongst other Joomla litertaure.
