What is Joomla! ,and what it can do for my website
Joomla! is a Content Management System (or "CMS") which enables easy control and editing of the content and presentation of your website.
With Joomla!, you can do things like:
•Edit the content of every page of your site through a word processor-style interface.•Add new pages to your site using a point-and-click interface.•Add images and other media through Web-based uploads.•Control site elements like navigation menus and page layout.

How much knowledge do I need to implement Joomla! ?
-low level of technical knowledge is required-Joomla!'s installation process includes uploading files to a Web server via FTP, creating a new MySQL database, and then proceeding through Joomla!'s Web-based installation wizard. (Fortunately, many Web hosting companies include Web site control panels which make it easy to handle technical tasks, including adding a MySQL database, and installing Joomla!.)
