Erin here, one of the graphic designers at Custom Direct with my very first blog (awwww). In this business, it seems like every day brings a new challenge. With computer technology changing on a daily basis, I am constantly learning about new and effective ways to utilize the Web.
While looking into blogging, I was introduced to content management systems (CMS). I have been interested in finding out more about these and what they have to offer. We have used LearnFlash.com in the past for tutorials and training for Adobe Flash. One of the emails I received from them had a tutorial on Joomla which is said to be the leading content management system provider today. After watching a demo for Joomla, it looks like something that is very useful and easy for updating content on web sites without needing a techy developer at your beckon call. Even a designer like myself can appreciate this – don’t get me wrong, I want to learn as much as I can about web development, but let’s face it I’m a designer. I love the visual end of the deal a little more than the coding.
If there is anyone with more input on CMS or can refer another provider out there, I’d be happy to hear from you.

Guys,
I have more than once used Joomla. Though it is surely a great piece of work, it can be cumbersome; especially if you are using the member-subscription side of it.
I used Joomla at the same time I was using other CMS applications. this means I was installing, configuring and creating content on all applications at the smae time. I knew I would gravitate towards what was user friendly and best suited for my needs.
I found E-107 to fit the bill. http://www.e107.org
Let me know if you have inquiries.
