[Hidden-tech] Last chance to register for Joomla! workshop

[Tamar Schanfeld]

All computers have been reserved, but there are a few spots open for
people who bring their own laptops - must be PC, not Mac.

TNR Global, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Small Business
Development Center (MSBDC), will be presenting a one day training on
how to create a dynamic website for your small business using the
Joomla! content management system. This training will take place on
December 2nd, at the Scibelli Enterprise Center, Springfield, MA.

Create a new website in one day - including photo galleries, slide
shows, contact form, support forum, and social networking features.
Within one day, you will learn the fundamentals of the Joomla! open
source content management system, site planning, menus, design
templates, content editing, and marketing and search engine
optimization tips. No technical skills required beyond comfort with
Microsoft Word, and an internet browser.

During and after the workshop you will be able to add images and text
to your new site on your own. You will be able to complete more during
the training if you bring a CD/DVD or flash drive with text and images
that you want to include on the site.

Note: This workshop will not include e-commerce or shopping cart
features. You can, however, add e-commerce features to the site once
it is set up - either by yourself or working with a technical
consultant.

Registration is open at http://www.msbdc.org/wmass/training_reg.html.
MSBDC does not accept online payments, but there is a registration
form to print.
