Welcome to the Typo3 Tutorials site!

I know there are a lot of Typo3 tutorials sites out there but as I am really just learning Typo3 I thought it would be useful for myself and others to have a reference as to what I have found really useful out of all the material out there. When you are not a developer and are not already extremely familiar with the CMS then it gives you a fresh perspective.

Those who have been working with Typo3 for a long time will no doubt have forgotten what a nightmare it is to start using, and thus will often gloss over things that have become second nature to them but are not at all obvious to the novice. I aim to highlight those things and document my struggles and triumphs- as with all things computer-related there will certainly be plenty of those.

I am pretty familiar with Wordpress but my limited experience with T3 has shown me that it is possibly a lot more powerful and certainly a lot more complicated and difficult to get one’s head around than that excellent blogging/CMS software. As you will notice I am using WP to do this site, if I get familiar enough with T3 to switch the site over to that then you will know I am winning the battle! If the site goes down for long periods you will know I am losing it. But! I am not easily discouraged, so let’s get on with it and if you want to contribute please feel free to leave a comment or three.
