Please point me in the right direction

Post by mtkinportlodge » Sun Jan 29, 2012 3:19 am

Hi all,

I have my domain name and hosting account set up with go daddy.com. I have it activated and Joomla installed (not on my computer, but on the hosting account). I have looked at numerous online documentation on how to get rid of the stock "This will be a cool website" my web page says now, and start adding content, but nothing actually seems to give the next steps. I have looked at the Beginner's guide the Joomla, but it just says "Now start adding content:.

Can someone please provide a link to the exact page where, once the hosting account is setup and Joomla installed, how to proceed next. Again, I am not downloading Joomla to my computer, and I don't want to set up any beta test account, so I don't want to set up all these test folders. I just would really like to know how to actually get stuff from Joomla to my website.

Thank you

I'm in the same boat, except I'm using 1&1. I downloaded Joomla through 1&1 and still trying to figure out how to add content. Guess I need to watch more training videos:)
