Anyone ever use Joomla to make websites?

[CISO1969]

Is this worth my time? How hard is it to web author with? I had someone swear by it - but it just looks like a royal pain in the ass to get started.

Anyone use it?

I use it. How hard is it depends on your knowledge on web development. I use it for all my clients, personal and business sites. It beats hiring a programmer. If you're into building sites it's definitely worth it.

Dreamweaver CS3 for me.

I have a few websites (ok like 6 or more) and do HTML manually as well as occasionalkly use Front page or word . I also use Irfanview (yes I have photoshop--just never use/used it!) and my pages "ain't half bad" but one guy at ouir last rugby game was saying how great this was--all WYSIWYG and so forth and their site kicks Ass. It just seems like a mess to get set up as you have to upload it to your hosting service.I ave godaddy--anyone know if it works with that -linux based?

Thanks,

Lee

May be a good idea to take a look at Joomla's forum re "security issues" before you decide to use it. hxxp://forum.joomla.org/

Good luck with whatever you decide to use.

I use BBEdit on MacOSX. Sure, I'm doing Ajax with perl or php these days, but nothing beats a real-time LAMP application server for previews.
