JOOMTORIAL.COM - for all your Joomla questions

Recently, I've found myself developing several websites using the open source content management system (CMS) called Joomla. This CMS is quite robust and fully capable to handle large scale websites with ease.

The one catch with using Joomla is that it is similar to drinking from a fire hydrant when learning how to navigate its many features. LOTS OF INFO to digest.

But never fear! JOOMTORIAL.COM is here! Here's what they say about themselves:
At Joomtorial.com you will find Joomla Video Tutorials for beginners, intermediate and professional Joomla users.

Joomla is a highly usable content management system and can be used for personal use as well as for business use. Websites made with Joomla can be found in many sizes varying from a few pages up to entire community websites with 10.000+ pages. When starting with Joomla the versatility of Joomla can become quite overwhelming. It's more or less like a Dutch saying; "You can't see the forest because of all the trees in front of it."

Our purpose is to offer useful and most of all, understandable Joomla Video Tutorials that will help you in creating your Joomla website. Visit our Shop to purchase our tutorials.

In our 10+ years of experience in web-development and 5+ years of experience in Joomla, we decided to share our knowledge-base. You will find usefull Joomla information in our Forum and you can purchase Joomla Video tutorials in our Shop.
Through the use of DMs on Twitter and posts on the Joomtorial Forum, Joomtorial.com has been a tremendous help to me, and I look forward to continued communication with them in the future.

If you must send a fax, do it for free!

They say that necessity is the mother of invention.

Here are some inventions fit for small business owners who don't want or need to plop down a large sum of money for antiquated fax machines.

Out of necessity, I have to occasionally receive faxes. For this, I use the free service from eFax.com. This provides me with a dedicated fax number and e-mails me digital copies of any faxes that I receive. Pretty handy!

To send faxes from eFax.com requires a hefty monthly fee so I googled "send fax online" and stumbled across faxzero.com. It's really simple to use and perfect for those of us who only fax once every election year or so. Did I mention it is FREE?

Faxzero features:
  • Free!
  • Ad on the cover page
  • Fax 1 document—maximum 3 pages
  • Maximum 2 free faxes per day


That's all, folks!
