Yep, I'm New. I do Scout Sites & Hobby projects 5 Months ago  
Hi Everyone,
I'm a hobbyist who does volunteer websites for the local Boy Scouts in the western Chicago suburbs. If anyone wants to talk scouting and Joomla!, I'd be happy to work with them on their site. I would like to get into some for profit activities with Joomla because it is a great CMS with so many options for inexperienced clients who want some user control over their site.

I've been using Joomla 1.5 for about a month and I have really enjoyed it. I tried 1.0 two years and just didn't understand the concept.

I'm here to learn some of the things I may have skipped over during self learning and to learn some "real" practices for site management beyond my DIY attitude. (How to move sites from one host to another, etc)

My first site was a bust with Joomla though, the scouts don't want to introduce new technology to their site despite using the same host and giving them a full rundown of how it works, and explaining it thoroughly. Frustrating, but maybe I can learn some steps for selling that here as well.

Feel free to bug me and if you want to talk Joomla out by the Brookfield/LaGrange areas - western BNSF Metra line- I'd be happy to get together with anyone to discuss Joomla strategies.

Thanks!
Kevin

Welcome Kevin!

Please get in touch with me when you have a free moment. We have a project under discussion with a prospective client that could make use of your domain expertise - i.e. it's sort of scouting related). joe.scarry at arctg.com

I e-mailed you - feel free to contact me - I will be out of the house past 3 pm on. But I check my e-mail too much for my own good.

Kevin,

Welcome aboard. I was with Troop 159 in Arlington Heights. Loved being in scouts.
