Where to Start?

[hanmark]

I am a newcomer and feel overwhelmed by all the techi stuff here.
Where and how is the proper way to get started for a newbie?
Do you have a simple introduction to read "about GetSimple"?

welcome here!

Well, do not feel overwhelmed, remember, this is "GetSimple" ;=)

We have a WIKI :

did you download and install already?
if not, start here: http://get-simple.info/wiki/installation

if yes, start here: http://get-simple.info/wiki/how_to

if you have specific questions, post them here and you will get all support!

Cheers, and enjoy GetSimple, it is simple!

Thanks for the links. I'm also a newbie here, the links helped me a lot!

Hi Connie I am also a newbie and looking forward to using get Simple CMS. I have been a big wordpress follower and user so using this CMS should be a relatively simple procedure. Thanks

I just started and I'm new to all this techie stuff...I hope to learn new things because I'm developing my skills in website designing...

Do you guys have a video instruction on how to get things started? It would be easier for newbies like me rather than following links. Just a suggestion though

[Connie]

Hi, welcome!

Did you read the wiki?
There are articles which might show you how to start: first glance after logging in, all pages, create pages ...

we have no videos

Connie: I've been thinking about prviding a video footage of installation of GS along with simple page creation.
But my true voice isn't the one you'd be willing to hear ;D
Maybe we should jump on CC to create a something like vlog ?

What software are you planning to use?

[Connie]

I suggest Camtasia for screen recording, there are free versions in the wild ;=)

[yojoe]

For videos on installing, and managing webapps, I used once early version of captuerfox: http://www.advancity.net/eng/products/capturefox.html
But it won't be suitable for deployment, as I'd go with uploading whole archive through ftp, and using an exec or shell_exect command from php interpreter on the server.

So many screencasting apps appeared lately, that I lost the recognition.
I still have http://www.debugmode.com/wink/ and http://xvidcap.sourceforge.net/ in y bookmarks and they did their job. Guys on macs have tons of such software, but
http://www.screenr.com/
http://www.screenpresso.com/
http://www.webinaria.com/
http://www.recordscreen.com/
http://www.sameshow.com/democreator/tuto...-area.html
seems to be also very appealing
Of course those who use video editing apps have such features built inside those applications.

A big thank you to Connie. Like other newbies, this is my first attempt at a website and I so much want to get it right. Techie talk can be very intimidating. It is so refreshing to get some plain talk info.

With thanks

i have video recordings on my list of things to do, but i just cant find the time to do it. I will gladly take suggestions of some of the things people want to see in a video recording, and add it to my to-do list so when I do it, i know exactly what to record.
