However I made a few other decisions - I want the new website to be: - easy to navigate - lightweight (loading very quickly) and also - cheap - I want to spend on it’s development and initial promotion as little as possible so that the price would not be obstacle to anyone who would like to create a similar website....

Also as I want to update the website frequently I decided that I will need a CMS (content management system) and I decided on using Joomla. Currently I am working on the texts for this website and hopefully next week it will be available. ▲ Collapse

It is unlikely that I will be able to join the webinar at the scheduled time. Will I be able to view the recording later even if I did not access the webinar at 16:00 on 15th December ? I'd rather NOT cancel my registration if I can view the recording at a later date.

no materials at all...
Jan 11, 2011
I am disappointed and unhappy that we haven't received any materials as promised. If I knew that I would have taken notes... Even though it happens that people don't keep their promises it still makes me feel sad in a way...
