Looking for a better way to organise the blog posts, links, media and pages on your website? Open source content management systems (CMS) are a great way to give structure to what you're doing online and make it easier to add, remove or edit content.

This recorded webinar will give you an overview on Joomla as an open source content management system, including who uses it, why they use it, how to maintain and add content, and its advantages especially for not-for-profit organisations.

Guest presented for Connecting Up by Lindsey Jackson and Justin Beall of Energetica, the webinar includes:

• Open source software - What is it? Why is it a great choice for not-for-profit organisations?
• The development community behind open source software - How the values of the open source movement align with the values of NFPs
• An introduction to Joomla - Who uses it? Why do they use it? How can you maintain and add content yourself?
