I've had CB and have purchased the documentation subscription for about two years.  I've installed it on a few sites, but really haven't attempted to 'use' it.  The main reason I purchased the documentation was I felt the application had/has alot of merit.  Having been online for longer than I care to talk about, I've seen OpenSource applications come and go. Most of the ones that are gone now, left us for financial reasons. By supporting CB financially, regardless of how small, it just gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling all over. The added benefit obviously is that I could at least look at the documentation should/when I ran into an issue.

I'm a person who has to have some sort of plan.  This doesn't mean that I have to have step by step instructions for everything that I do (although that's close)… but it does mean that I need to at least have a some sort of idea of where I'm going. 

With that in mind, I have created a mini-planner to help me stay focused on what I am going to attempt to achieve in the hour a day I intend on working with Community Builder.  I may wind up going over an hour some days…but for the most part, I need to keep it to that.  The site I am working  thru this with is at http://www.salestrainingandnetworking.com

There's really not any need to go down a 'new' path today.  I'll simply pick up where I left off, and explain briefly the issues that I ran into yesterday that are currently resolved.  I'll also add a list of things that I need to do and implement as well.  One of the things that I think I need to say is that EVERYday, before I begin working on this site I backup the database and ftp the files on the server back to my local server/file storage.   Yes, I have cron jobs that do this on a regular basis… but not on a daily basis. I will at some point automate that.  Anyway, in MY world I take responsibility for what I do and don't rely totally on things that I have no real control over. That being said…I'll move on.

If by any chance you are following along…and are trying to figure out why there would be a skip in the dates from Day Three to Day Four… it's because I don't always have time to write on a day by day basis.  So, what the 'Day Number" refers to the number of the work day…not the calendar date.   That being said...Let's get started on things that have been left over from the to-do lists...and yesterday's notes. What does Joomlapolis  use for their downloads area?
