I was surfing Twitter and the Joomla Forums today and noticed people complaining about a lot of issues. Many of them were 'victims' of one or more of the following reasons people fail at using Joomla:
- Not taking the time to learn the basics
- Using a bad template
- Not having a backup plan
- Installing a new version without doing a backup
- Not bothering to read and understand the security checklist
- Not learning even a tiny bit of CSS
- Installing new extensions on a production site without testing them
- Ranting and shouting in the forums, thereby losing out on the help you would get if your were thinking before shouting
- Oops, I guess I couldn't think of anything more - how about you?
- ?
