      Yes it is, at least for me it was. It’s a full Joomla 3.x installation incl. the demo page and db.

    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!

    After restoring quickstart package successfully i get a white page shown with this content:
    #qx-section-313141{ } #qx-row-13400{ } #qx-column-463408{ }
    Too few arguments to function Css::padding(), 1 passed in /home/httpd/vhosts/zwinky-nw.ch/httpdocs/templates/jl_finance_pro/quix/elements/number-counter/number-counter/style.php on line 9 and exactly 2 expected
    What do i do wrong?
