New field.

Due to a project I am working on, I need to familiarize myself with Joomla! and this is what I’ve been doing today most of the day. After all these years of working with WordPress, it is almost a bit odd for me to dive into this world. Thrown out of my comfort zone - creating WordPress templates at this point in time is a breeze to me - I now have to dig into this one. At first the backend seems confusing and unorganized compared to other CMS applications I have looked at, but the fault was mine as I installed the first version of Joomla! with “filler data” and that made it kinda confusing. Once I re-installed an empty version and worked my way through some videos, the concept became clear and understandable. At this point I am not worried about setting up Joomla! nor the content, but the template and CSS is still an unknown, even though I have found a list of all classes used to style the templates (around 280 different ones!!). Hopefully in a week from now I will have it all under control.
