I've been developing sites using Joomla, Drupal and Wordpres for the last 15 years. I'm looking forward to some discussions.

Helping people makes me sharper and working with beginners is a great way to get insight into the strengths and weaknesses of a program. I hope I can help some people and learn a lot in the process.

Hi Edandrea,

A quick question, did you have a typo in the first paragraph for 15 years?

Kind regards,
Nick

Hi Ed,

Hi Nick,

I'm not a coder - but I figure stuff out. I hope I can help, too. And thanks for the welcome.

PS. I have a sense of humor. I don't mind the mispelling comment. I misspell wurds allthe time.

re: "Joomla, Drupal and Wordpres for the last 15 years. "
have these applications been around that long?

They haven't: I think Ed meant "developing sites using things like ..." :)

Ten years for Joomla (in one form or another) and also for Drupal. About 6 for WordPress.

Thank you , Steve. I just found Joomla and Drupal in the last 6 months the long roundabout way asking the question how are people designing these sites. The live classes I've taken locally are in CSS and Dreamweaver and only a few people manage to grasp and implement the two and create something that works. I was slow on the uptake but created and maintain a couple of sites.
After asking and researching I come to find CMS has been around for nearly a decade. Better late than never :-)
Learning it online is better for me than meeting in a class once or twice a week.
