Joomla is a free web-based system used to create and manage websites or blogs. It is very simple and easy to use. Using Joomla, you can easily manage all of your articles, blog posts, photos, videos, user comments, website layout and functionality. That is why Joomla is called a   powerful Content Management System (CMS).

The word ‘Joomla’ means ‘all together’ in Swahili language. Joomla was started in year 2005 as a fork from Mambo CMS. Since then its popularity has risen very rapidly with more than 15 million downloads due to its powerful features, vast availability of free extensions and templates. There are more than 200,000 Joomla developers and millions of websites are being developed using Joomla.

Whether you want to develop a website or start your own blog, Joomla has proven to be the most useful free open source Content Management System (CMS) for easy website development and management.  Joomla’s popularity among the web community has risen tremendously over the last few years. Since it’s inception in 2005, there have been more than 15 million downloads of Joomla CMS. According to the 2009 Open Source CMS Market Share Report, Joomla is the most popular open source CMS. So, what are the reasons for Joomla’s amazing popularity?

The main reasons of rapid growth of Joomla Community are:

One of the many things I like from Joomla is that you can apply several Templates to your same Website, and better yet this process is really easy to do. I have created this video to give a general explanation in how you can accomplish this.

In order for you to accomplish this tutorial, you should have installed Joomla 1.5 in your Hosting account or inside your Xamp or Wampserver.

Also you will need to activate the SEO settings in Joomla, which is shown on the video.

So, do you want to learn Joomla? Well, let me tell you that you have come to the right place to start learning Joomla by using video resources. For those who don’t know this system, Joomla is a CMS software that lets you create websites, intranets, and other web tools.

CMS stands for Content Management System which is a program that let non-technical people update, modify, and even create websites.

The best thing of Joomla is that is totally FREE and you won’t need to pay anything to download and develop websites in Joomla. The only money you will be expending is the money you are going to be paying to your hosting companies.

So have you forgotten you Joomla 1.5 admin password? Well I have bad news for you, the thing about the admin password, is that you won’t be able to recover it. I know it seems scary, but what you can do is replace that unknown password for something that you will know. That is what you are going to be learning on this video tutorial.

Now on this video, I’m using a Linux server with a CPANEL utility, if there is a chance that you are using a Windows server, it is going to be different. Also some Linux servers don’t come with the CPANEL utility, so be aware of that. What you can do in that case is, you can contact your hosting company and ask them how to access your Database from the Joomla site that you forgot the password.
