Joomla!

Lately I've been looking into Joomla. My uncle currently has a website that somebody else built using Joomla. He has asked me to take over the site for him, since the guy who built it, isn't doing a very good job maintaining it. enough of the intro.

To gets things clear, this is my first attempt at using a CMS tool. I've read about them, seen what they can do, but never have i used one. I've heard about Drupal, Joomla, Lenya to name a few. But i have no comparison for anything, so my opinions are purely from a newbie's perspective.

First, Joomla seems pretty good. Installation is mostly point and click. You can configure some stuff once it's installed, but from what i have found, documentaion isn't spectacular. I've found articles about how to do certain things, that go into pretty good detail, but from what i have found the major thing lacking is a beginner's how-to....."Like ok I've installed Joomla, what do i do now?"

I've also come across the phenomon of every has rolled their own feature.....i'm looking for a Picture Gallery, but there doesn't seem to be anything simple, there appears to be tons.

anyways, i'll post more as i learn.
