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)
- I installed Xampp for linux by downloading it from here[1] and moving it to the suitable directory. Onece it was set up I had to tweak a few settings. 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)
3. Install Joomla
- This was a bit of a challenge, After much trial and error and finally google, I found where to move the file with joomla in it. For me running Ubuntu 10.10 the directory was /opt/lampp/htdocs. 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.
4. Fix Error Messages in Joomla
- When I had sucessfully
