Many of my Trekcomputers colleagues remember the the first time I downloaded Joomla! and began to tear my hair out attempting to decipher its nuances and quirks.  Fast forward two years and given the time to finally learn a few things, I’m now prepared to revived the Detroitpreneur!.  Joomla! provides an excellent way to organize and display the ton of small business and entrepreneurship content I’ve stored up over the years.  Now if I can just find time to actually load the content onto the site, I think it could be of use to the small business training community.

I’ve begun to alter some images and create sections and categories, but it is a long way from a finished product.  As for the merits of this particular content management system, Joomla! 1.5 has become a lightened the learning curve some.  However, I still see many examples of how not to use Joomla! especially when content is light.  Joomla! is extremely powerful if fully utilized.  Stay tuned for progress reports as I attempt to change the style sheet and add a few third-party plug-ins and modules.
