joomla newbie

ok so i got this client who wanted me to do up their website, and wanted a content management system. being the salesperson that i was trained to be, i said, sure! noooo problem! and started rattling off these technical terms that i had picked up while learning little bits of this and that to get a website up and running. lucky for me, their tech guy is also just learning joomla, so we were pretty much in the same boat (of course, he didn't know i had never used it before either hehehe). 

when i got back to the office, i started googling and downloading stuff that i needed. i started lurking around forums to look for tips and also see what are the most common problems encountered by web developers. i don't know if i'm just too impatient, but it seems there are hardly any step-by-step instructions when it comes to installing the extensions. 

anyway, i figured i'd just post every bit of info, every problem or detail that i encounter on this blog, in case some poor newbie soul gets lost trying to figure out joomla.... just as i am figuring it out now .
