The only limits on how to use it are the limits of your imagination. Joomla evolved out of the Mambo CMS, and over time, much like WordPress, it has built up its own large audience of fiercely passionate and intensely loyal users.<\/p>\n<p>The CMS offers both developers and users an abundance of information on what it can do, as well as provides them with copious resources on how to customize, test and tweak it to suit the needs of their project.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting Started<\/h2>\n<p><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l44mZK7zPqg?list=PLn5i4hx3TuLENWOYNe47PSmbDivJV_Lr_\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<em>Joomla 3 Video Tutorials &#8211; Getting Started<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of resources both official and unofficial developed by the Joomla community. However, before you venture out too far and get lost in the overwhelming amount of information on Joomla posted on technical blogs, a good place to start is the office resource website. This is friendly, easy-to-understand, and offers the new users some invaluable tips on how to navigate around the Joomla environment.<\/p>\n<p>Four resources worth noting are Joomla Home, Joomla Documentation, Joomla Community Magazine, Joomla Team Blogs, and Joomla Forums.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a quick look at each one:<\/p>\n<h2>Joomla Home<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-22569 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/joomla-home-cms-guide-e1424486627626-680x246.jpg\" alt=\"joomla-home-cms-guide\" width=\"680\" height=\"246\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/246;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is where you can find out more about Joomla and also where you can download the CMS files.<\/p>\n<h2>Joomla Documentation<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-22571 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/joomla-docs-training-tutorials-680x645.png\" alt=\"joomla-docs-training-tutorials\" width=\"680\" height=\"645\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/645;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This offers a lot of useful information that you can bookmark for further reference. It offers developers and users a plethora of tips, tricks, and techniques that will help power up a stunning website.<\/p>\n<h2>Joomla Community Magazine<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/magazine.joomla.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-22572 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/joomla-community-magazine-680x488.jpg\" alt=\"joomla-community-magazine\" width=\"680\" height=\"488\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/488;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is another resource for developers and users. It basically offers information on the most current innovations. While Joomla documentation is a collection of proven technical information, Joomla magazine explores what else is possible. It provides current news and information.<\/p>\n<h2>Joomla Team Blogs<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-22573 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/2015-goals-joomla-heart-680x262.jpg\" alt=\"2015-goals-joomla-heart\" width=\"680\" height=\"262\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/262;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are active groups within Joomla\u2019s community, and each has its own blog to share its ideas and discoveries with the community.<\/p>\n<h2>Joomla Forums<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/forum.joomla.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22574 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/forum-joomla-org.png\" alt=\"forum-joomla-org\" width=\"468\" height=\"352\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 468px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 468\/352;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is a guide for the perplexed. It\u2019s a place where seasoned Joomla veterans can share war stories with each other as well as dispense invaluable advice with new users. Like most other CMS forums, it\u2019s a place where community members answer a variety of questions from new users. It\u2019s a good place to go when you\u2019re stuck, when you\u2019re trying find resources, or when you&#8217;re trying to decipher some technical information.<\/p>\n<h2>Nuts And Bolts<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.computerworld.com\/article\/2493909\/web-apps\/10-joomla-extension-modules-for-easier-and-better-websites.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22583 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/joomla-plugins.jpg\" alt=\"joomla-plugins\" width=\"508\" height=\"317\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/joomla-plugins.jpg 508w, https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/joomla-plugins-320x200.jpg 320w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 508px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 508\/317;\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>10 Joomla extension modules for easier and better websites<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Those looking to work with Joomla can also find more information about it through tutorials, templates, and Joomla web hosts.
