I must be 100 times lamer in tech stuff than I originally thought. I can't do squat with Xoop, I can't figure how to position Blocks, can't even download themes I am at total loss here. A Visual Introduction is nothing but a sales pitch, I thouhgt it tell you how to do what it can, unfortunately!

Is there a instructional manual of "how to" for Xoop idiots, like myself.

Is there a anyone who would help me setup the website? Are there any vendors who would do that?

Please brother can you spare a webmaster?

Any help would be highly appreciated

There is no "Xoop for idiots" but "Xoops For Dummies" does exist.
search it!

I basically went ot the wiki for information and it helped me a lot. Here is the link

I hope it helps.
I had to be patient with my self when I first started. It is well worth the effort.
Xoops sites are great.

Click the links in my sig.

How did you make your sites until now?

All you have to do once you have it installed is play with the bits and pieces with the site turned off. Read the XOOPS for dummies website, do lots of google searches and ask lots of questions in here. I know squat about code of any kind except the absolute basics like link tags and image url tags. I wouldn't even know how to make a table with code. And until a friend told me last night I didn't even know the tag to make text bold.
Go into the system admin menu and click on everything and change stuff one at a time then look at your page to see what it did. It might take a week or two of constant playing around to get it but once you do I'm sure like everyone else in the XOOPS community you will love what it can do.
Have alook at my site and tell me what you think of it..........I think it is living proof that a"dummy" can make a fairly classy site. Have a look at lots of other sites and if you see something you like send a polite message to the webmaster asking them how they did it. Most are more than obliging to help. There is plenty of support around if you're nice to people and have a little patience with yourself.
