My first furstrations with AL technology

Well, as always with new technology I am very frustrated starting out. I am somewhat of a perfectionist, so I can obsessively sit there and try and figure stuff out for hours, instead of taking a break and getting away from it for awhile.

I have been goofing around with Joomla, and have no idea about formatting and flow. I did make my own practice page and also installed a YouTube player, which works, but I cannot figure out how to put it nicely into the flow. It also seems like I can only use the module once in the whole site, so if we wanted to do two different youtubes, we couldn't.

The slideshow viewer is very, very frustrating. I have followed the directions exactly, and tried it 87 times, but it still is not working.

I set my mindmeister up for sharing. Apparently you have to invite someone with an e-mail corresponding to their mindmeister account.

I think that we should come up with some ground rules for playing around with Joomla. For now, I could care less if you delete everything I have put up or changed.I won't change anything you guys want to be on their permanently.
