hi,
good presentation
one question : joomla is in the quickstart or not ?
thanks
Yes it is, at least for me it was. It’s a full Joomla 3.x installation incl. the demo page and db.
Quickstart packages are available for PRO editions only.
Hey there this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Mandy,
You can use WYSIWYG editors like tinymce or jce for Joomla blogging.
