Over the last year, we have created a few videos that assist with windows and Joomla 1.5 under the name of VideoJoomlaTutorials. The videos have been a real hit on You Tube with over 36,000 views. There has been several instances in which we have sent our costumers to You Tube to watch them as a reference. Now, they have been put on the JD Web Design Studio website to make it easier for our clients to view them in one place.
You may ask, "Why not do a written blog?" After spending the last four years learning web design, I have found that a video tutorial in high definition always beats written words. I like to watch things happen. That is why I fell in love with lynda.com. All that training for only $25.00 per. month. Wow! The majority of my videos are snippets of solved answers that I came across last year. I have found that many others had the same struggles as me. So, enjoy this Joomla 1.5 training. This year, I plan to release a paid video series about Joomla 1.6. Enjoy!
