Jeremy,

Is Joomla a software program that can be downloaded to a computer? If so, where and how? Also, what about a tutorial, book, etc.

To answer your questions:

Do you have already have a website? If not, do you have the information you want on the site? No we do not have a website, we are trying to get one started. As far as the info required on the site, I guess that is hard to say since there is so much. We want to have a home page that tells about the organization. We want to have a page where we can have a newsletter about the group and be able to change it once a quarter. We want to have a picture gallery that shows our youth. We want to have a picture gallery of the youth doing their training. All pictures need to be changed as needed. We would like to put our training schedule on the site. Maybe some of the "member stuff would be in a section where we could have our members login with a password? We would like to have a way to link to other sites. I could go on and on but basically what I wrote in my first post on websitebabble. Specific info can be provided as requested.

Do you need designed graphics, or do you have a supply of some? We have pictures and our logo that we want on the site but as far as other graphics, we were looking for something really intense that deals with fire fighting.

Do you already have a domain and/or hosting provider? We do not have either but if possible we would like to have the website as www.AvonFireExplorers.org

Jeremy, I don't know if this helps get started but if you put together a list of specifics, I can fill in the blanks. What I was hoping for was a means of getting the things described in the forum and a site that really has "pizzaz". Also since we will be changing info regularly, it needs to be fairly simple to do (learn).

As a side note, I am a member of a another organization that deals in wood turning and I have seen many posts on that forum lately of guys looking for someone to assist with getting a website up and running, I wouldbe happy to pass your name along. Who knows, maybe some good business there. I will be doing a site someday soon for the same area of interest.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Dan
