Gotbob, not gotbob, gotbob, not gotbob Now that I have finished one of my personal task dealing with the Relay For Life in Frederick, I figure I would take on another...You have got to fill up all the free time we have on our hands lately with something creative. I haven't posted a tutorial or anything in a long time. Of course trying to keep up with JT and Cheryl Johnson is like running a marathon using a walker.

Anyways, I am looking for suggestions for a topic for a tutorial on Wordpress or Bluehost. What do you want that you haven't seen here yet? I want to try out some new gadgets like tool boy...like JingProject.com. or some screen recording tool.

I am not ready to write a Joomla post yet. My brain is fried...I will leave that up to Virtuallin show you.

So, whatcha looking for?

Hi Bob~ I have never even heard of an of the things you spoke of! I did go and check them out - way too complicated for me. (Jing project,Vituallinn,Joomla....) I guess I am just not there yet!

I'm transferring my stuff to Wordpress this week, so how about a library of links for your past WP topics? I think I have a lot of reading to catch up on.

Bob: I keep waiting for this Joomla tutorial. My husband has set up a Joomla community page for our HOA. As the HOA President I would like to know how to use it (more than pasting articles.)
