This area contains a number of user guides that I have written as well as some that I have copied from Joomla.org and enhanced with a focus on features used most heavily in websites developed by Websites With Purpose. This includes user guides and video tutorials for extentions that I commonly use.
New guides and video tutorials are being added all the time so bookmark this page. As well as Joomla 1.5 tutorials there are also tutorials on commonly used tools such as Gimp. Basically I create tutorials as I get requests from users.
There is a lot more information at www.joomla.org and I would encourage Joomla fans to use that resource as well.
Joomla is ideal for creating "squeeze pages" for online marketing. This video shows you how to insert an iContact form into any Joomla page or position.

This video explains how to fix the Flash Player Error that incorrectly displays when viewing videos in Google Chrome.
Joomla has a lot of flexibility in allowing users access to write, edit and publish articles. In Joomla terminology an article is a page in your website. In other words, if you can use an email editor like Outlook Express you can publish pages to your website....but only if the Administrator gives you access.
Within Joomla there are various access levels that restrict who can add content or access restricted information such as a download page. The access levels are as follows:
"I am really happy with the work you have done for me and my company. It has been a great help and I would be happy to recommend you and your services to anyone needing a website. It has enabled me to spend more time with my family and for that I can’t thank you enough.
Kind Regards James"
