Joomla Anyone?

Let's face it. I don't know jack ship when it comes to Joomla. I have it installed and that's about it. It seems pretty straight forward, but I am looking to change the world.

Anyone out there know of a good place to really learn Joomla? I am willing to buy videos or tutorials.

I would like to create a site with:

Lot's -o- video Discussion board Membership Access Whiteboards Classified Ads

also knick knacks, patty whacks and what nots.

Can you help me change the world? Or point me to someone who can!?

Thanks 43 Folders Community Boards!!

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
