Trying Out Joomla
First and foremost, I am not having issues with TYPO3 as my content management system. I don't want to hurt it's feelings, because it works pretty well for me. Lately, though, I have heard more and more talk of Joomla, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
I went ahead I installed it on my server. It was only about 10MB unzipped to upload, which makes uploading easy and fast. After that, I navigated to the site in my browser. After inputing a little info about my MYSQL database, I had a site.
I will say that it seems quite different in concept from TYPO3. First off, I am used to a easily editable sitemap. It was not quite as intuitive in Joomla, but once I found the location to create new pages, they were easily generated. Unfortunately, it looks as if the pages must be specified as a certain type of content upon creation, such as blog or news.
I will continue to look at Joomla, especially as they are coming out with a new version soon. Check back soon to see my continuing experiments with Joomla.
