10 Goals:
1. Chose a CMS (Content Management System)
- I decided on Joomla. Mainly because I Wordpress and ModX didn't fit my needs for a simple website meant for my TaeKwonDo studio.
2. Install Xampp (to create a localhost)

At first I messed up and put security passwords on it and had to uninstall and then reinstall. Once everything was up and running I opened MySQL and made a database for my site. (this was used later for the Joomla Setup)

All that was left was to start Xampp with the terminal command sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start and navigate to http://localhost/JOOMLAFILENAME and run through the install.
