Ouch! Rough week working on the Madison Network of Black Professionals website.

First I had difficulties with a form tool. I spent hours getting it installed because the documentation on the site sucks so bad. All along I thought it was something with the Joomla CMS that wasn't working right... and in the end it turned out to be a permissions issue.

Second, so I get things rolling with the forms and I have the site pretty much the way I want it and then the database craps out on me. I probably shouldn't say the "database crapped out", but the bottomline is that I started over from scratch. I knew it would be quite a bit of work, but I figured I'd get more experience and it would work out. It has, but I have a meeting this Friday morning to demo the site and I've still got a lot of work to do.

Moving forward... I'm going to figure out how to clone or backup the database so that when I have a problem like this again I can simply put the backup database in place and move on.
