I intend to publish a newspaper/Magazine website. I have seen a web template that I like in www.designs4peanuts.com and would like to use a CMS like Joomla to run the online Magazine. Is it possible to use a CMS like Joomla to edit and update content on such a template that was not created with Joomla?
The basic answer is NO. You need a Joomla template which is very specific. There are companies which will convert templates for you, but you are better off searching for a free Joomla template – there are some free ones and subscription ones at www.rockettheme.com. They also provide with their free template some tutorials on how to customise it. I’ve produced a really nice design strarting with their free template and then following the tutorial to change colours, etc

Is there maybe an automatic installer like Fantastico for Joomla?
you can use the Joomla with your Yahoo! Web Hosting plan.
You can install Joomla in your account directly from the Joomla’s web site. Download the compressed file from Downloads section of the Joomla’s web site:
http://www.joomlatribune.com/joomla-tutorials/how-to-install-joomla-cms.html
After downloading the new version of Joomla you will need to uncompress the downloaded file on your computer using a software like WinZip. After uncompressing the file you can rename the folder accordingly and can upload the folder to your account using a FTP client. Upload all the files of Joomla in a separate subdirectory under your File Manager.
For creating a subdirectory under your File Manager, I have searched a link. Visit:
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting/gfiles/gfiles-06.html
While uploading the files ".htaccess" file and few files with special characters in the filename will not get uploaded. You can ignore these files. Yahoo! doesn’t support .htaccess files.
For information on where to obtain a free FTP program, visit:
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting/gftp/gftp-08.html
Once you have downloaded and installed an FTP program, please review the instructions at:
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting/gftp/gftp-09.html
You will need the following information:
* Address/Host Name: ftp.domain-name.com
* User Name: Yahoo! ID@domain-name.com
* Password: yourYahoo!IDpassword
After uploading the files you will need to configure the newly uploaded Joomla (CMS). Before you can configure Joomla you will need to create a new database using phpMyAdmin. After creating the new database you can use the new database name to configure Joomla. The hostname to be used to configure is "mysql" and the Administrator Email adderss should be one of the domain email address with a mailbox.
for creating MySQL database, please visit:

I hope it will be best answer, I was doing research on this for last one day and finally i got it.
As the internet evolves at breakneck speed, so do the methods used to derive maximum revenue from online websites & internet based businesses. Did you know that some knowledgeable webmasters are creating absolute FORTUNES today, just by setting up relatively simple content based websites? This article aims to give you the foundations required to join them.
Today, we’ll look at how you can yourself create sensational content based niche sites and grab your slice of the hefty profits available to online information publishers. We’ll delve into the methods of creating content sites, which (free) content based software to use and what types of internet business models work best with content publishing. We’ll also touch on the most effective ways of researching which niches are the best to create your content-based sites in.
But first, let’s touch on just WHY having your very own content based sites could return staggering profits for you:
The whole world is coming online. The internet is all about information, and the publishers who know how to implement a successful information based website (in any niche) can extract income from a wide variety of sources. The information based website can yield revenues from contextual (Adsense) advertising, affiliate income for related products and direct revenue from sales of in-house products (such as eBooks, software & courses directly related to the content subject). The right content, in the right niche can have an explosive impact on your bottom line.
Technology has evolved to a point where many internet users have access to broadband & wireless connections and fast PCs. This means that information publishers can offer content through a wide range of media including text on-site, ebooks, audio and even video. Many low-cost tools are now available to create high quality audio/video products and stream them from your own website.
Some niche markets are just beautifully set-up for content sites. For example, take the travel niche – here, website viewers are far more likely to click on to the publishers Adsense displays (as many people do their holiday research online) and affiliate links. If for example you have a website on holidays in the Maldives, how likely are targeted browsers to click on Adsense displays offering quality Maldives vacations? Very. For more information on the travel niche take a look at this Travel Niche Site Creation Kit. The best part is that there are literally thousands of niches and sub-niches for you to create content sites in. Internet marketing, finance, travel, health & beauty…the list is endless.
Now that you’re fully aware of the potency of developing your own content based niche sites lets look at how you can get hold of free software that can have you churning out quality niche sites, again and again.
There are of course different ways to go about creating content based websites. However, if you’re looking to the future then one of the best options is JOOMLA
Why Joomla?
It’s a high quality CMS (content management system). The days of having flat html website pages are numbered. Sure, the majority will still present their content in this way for years to come but the spectacular returns will be made by those using & *understanding* content systems like Joomla.
Joomla is currently available for FREE. It’s also quite simple to install and allows you to create good looking pages that are completely customisable.
Presenting content through blogs became highly popular during the backend of 2004 and is still “in” today. Blogs do offer a lot of advantages compared to standard html pages but the problem now is that it’s possible for certain types of software to create literally thousands of “blogs” at the touch of a button. Many of these blogs contain identical content. These “spam blogs” are spreading through the internet like viruses so you can imagine the problems of using blogs now to present quality content. You’re up against *millions* of sites – all competing for attention. The chances of being spidered & indexed with a good search engine location? Not so good anymore. Joomla is a content presentation platform that is a natural progression from blogs.
Joomla can easily be set-up to create very good looking content pages that also blend in affiliate links (eg via Amazon/Clickbank), adsense displays and your own product offerings. This is the structure that all your content websites should take – no matter what niche they are in. It’s a structure that maximises your revenue from any given number of visitors. Joomla can also be used to implement various successful internet business content-models including membership site, storefront & “magazine” formats.
We’ve now investigated the benefits of owning quality content sites, how to structure them and the most dynamic free CMS software available.
In this last part of the article let’s focus on how to identify niche markets that are ripe for you to penetrate. If you’re struggling on deciding which niche market to enter then here’s a quick checklist that you can use to make sure you’ve chosen a niche that should fit in nicely with a content based site:
Your proposed niche should have a high number of prospects interested in it. What constitutes a high number varies according to circumstances, but in general there should be a potential market of millions, or even billions (for example the travel niche outlined earlier).
Your prospects should be cash-rich. They should be able to afford to buy what you’re pitching. For instance, people interested in the stock market tend to be relatively affluent individuals looking for ways to increase their wealth. Most of them will gladly spend money to get hold of information that will help them develop their stock picking skills.
There should be at least a couple of high-ticket affiliate programs that you can plug in to increase your overall revenues. Many content site owners will not have their own big-ticket product so it’s important to be affiliated with a quality program that can generate hundreds of dollars or more per sale. Again, the travel niche is a great example of this because the site owner can set-up a site about the Maldives as a luxury holiday destination and can link to several travel agents that offer 5% commissions on holidays sold. Given that the average Maldives holiday sells for several thousands of dollars it means very plump commissions for the content site owner.
There should be an active contextual market available. Adsense is fast penetrating just about every niche imaginable, but there remain some areas where the number of contextual advertisers remain small. This can be a problem for the content site owner, as fewer advertisers can mean fewer potential ads and smaller pay per click values.
Determining which niche to enter is an important decision because it’s a long term commitment. Once you enter a niche with a content website, you should be looking to develop it constantly. This means updating the site with fresh information of value to the target prospect so they keep coming back to your site again and again. This will inevitably mean they keep buying more related products from you and keep clicking over your Adsense displays.
The great thing is that it really doesn’t take that long to create an impressive portfolio of content based websites…all pulling in substantial revenues from various sources.

The intranet is not just a warmed over technology phenomenon from the 1990s. With new technologies such as CMS and Joomla!, its success in your organization is far more probable, and its impact is far more compelling. For businesses of all kinds this signals the beginning of a new internal-use-only Information Age and its capabilities are boundless. Its time to board the train. If you do not have an effective corporate / business intranet, it is highly probably that your companys management team is not fully aware of how important it is for in-house personnel to operate in the most productive fashion. At a minimum, they may not see how a corporate intranet can empower all employees and make the entire organization more efficient as well as more effective. Thats why Brian Kelly wrote this book. Now, you have something to show your management team that tells them exactly why they need an intranet. Using this book as your guide, you will have the facts and the material necessary to convince your management team that it is time for your corporate intranet. Whereas not having a functional corporate intranet points out a management deficiency and forces employees to work harder rather than smarter, having a business intranet in place keeps the entire organization in synch, moving synergistically towards the completion of the companys goals. Any Manager or IT person, who does not know how an intranet can help any organization, or who does not feel comfortable with the basic tenets of behind the firewall computing needs this book. Quite simply, anybody who wants to graduate from simple same-ole, same-ole to compelling new internal Web technologies, will love this book. If you would like to know the ingredients of a successful intranet, read on. Take this tutorial home with you and enjoy it as you plan your first prototype intranet site. From there, employee empowerment is just around the corner.
