I'm just checking out the little Blogger Buddy gadget on my toolbar. I already have my MS Live Writer that I love so I don't know if this guy will be worth taking space up on my bar or not. I guess if I made lots of quick and dirty posts this will be useful. I just don't know how much the world is interested in my random thoughts.
As long as I'm here though, I've started administering my neighborhood web page and it uses Joomla! It took me a few days to get the hang of it but it is a pretty nice way to run a web community web page. I've been checking out all of the cool addons and ways to modify it using PHP. It was relatively easy to set up an WAMP server on my pc and then load Joomla! on the pc to have a test environment to tear apart without fear of screwing up your live site. I reccomend using the PHPAdmin for you MySQL administration. It is a fairly easy to use graphical database/table manager.
My only problem at the moment is I want to upgradet the site from 1.0 to 1.5 and there are several 3rd party components that dont' get moved over in the migration script that I'm trying to figure out how to replace/replicate in the 1.5 environment. I also have to update the template so that it is 1.5 compatable. Until then, 1.0 is fine.
