Template conversion from html to Joomla
Life in school has been pretty busy this week, loaded with class test and lab test, putting my best effort and struggling to pass every single test... But nightmare is just over (for a while), 3 weeks holiday is around the corner, hehe.
I am interested in converting an existing html template to Joomla template, hoping to complete it during holiday. I will pick a suitable html template and put it up here. As usual, I will share with everyone once it's completed :)
will update on the progress as soon as possible.

How to upload image from Joomla frontend
I was trying to upload a image to show in the content as a publisher but couldn't. I did not realize that front-end users are not able to upload picture to the media manager by default. So here's the simple solution that I found out.
Files you need:
- JCE Admin Component - grab it here
- JCE Editor Mambot - grab it here
- Install JCE Admin Component
- Install JCE Editor Mambot
- Choose JCE WYSIWYG as default editor

How to install Joomla on your computer
Joomla is a free, open source content management system. This powerful tool allows web developer to install a professional look and feature rich website in a fraction of the time needed if you have to code the web from scratch.
Things you need
- Joomla 1.0.15 - grab it here
- Wamp server - grab it here
Steps
- Install Wamp server (just accept the default configuration)
- Unzip Joomla to C:\wamp\www\joomla
- Start Wamp server (there will be an icon at the system tray)
- Open up your browser and type in http://localhost/joomla and this will start the installation process
Use the following values when prompted
- Host Name = localhost
- MySQL User Name = root
- MySQL Password = leave it blank (if you never put any password during wamp installation)
- MySQL Database Name = anything you like (eg Joomla)
- Tick install sample data
- Site name = whatever you want to call your site (eg my first Joomla).
- Important!! --> Change the password for administrator, you need this!!
- Delete the installation folder when prompted
- Click view site and there you go!! your first Joomla site is up and running locally
