Transform an ordinary list, written in HTML, into a menu or site navigation with CSS. (if you do not yet know how to code with Cascading Style Sheets, look to the w3schools for a tutorial on the language.)
Why use CSS to create your menus?
CSS offers a way to add style to your content, while at the same time making it easier for search engines to scan your site, finding common and frequent words that tell the engines what your site is about. Opposed to menus made up of images, CSS menus are simple text and therefore easy to make changes to in the future. CSS also degrades easily if your viewers are using dated web browsers or mobile devices. But if you need something flashier and worthy of say, a design portfolio, you can just stick with images and JavaScript.
Borders are used throughout the tutorial as a visual clue as to how CSS affects certain elements.

Brief Introduction
Joomla's interface and administrative controls work from the web browser, meaning that the Joomla site can be accessed from anywhere. Any capabilities that the default Joomla setup does not have can be added easily from the collection of extensions made available by developers online. Extensions can enable your Joomla site to do just about anything it needs to with a minimum of effort. The biggest benefit is that Joomla is incredibly easy to learn: once you have created your new site in Joomla, your client could catch on with a small amount of instruction. If you know that Joomla is the right solution for you, then the next step will be choosing how you want to set it up.
How to Install Joomla
There are three ways to start working with Joomla.

Tips for Lighting Blue Screen

Have even lighting on the blue screen including the floor. Diffused lighting is best to soften harsh shadows. We used the flag to block kicker light from causing lens flair in the camera. Key lights should be your brightest lights, 1k or more. In this case, we didn't have a 1k light, so we used 650w and 220w. Ideally, brighter key lights are best.

3 Point Lighting
You want to have plenty of space between the talent and the background. This allows the camera to have the talent in focus while the background is out of focus due to the depth of field, bringing your eye to the talent who is more important, rather than the background.

First, place the camera about 8 feet away and have the lens be at the talent's eye level or slightly lower in order to make the camera appear more dominent.

Next, the Key Light should be a diffused light, which is placed about 45 degrees from the talent's nose. Have the center of the light be as high as the top of the talent's head to create a natural looking nose shadow. Ideally, the nose shadow should fall in the crease on the cheek of the smile line. You should also use a white bounce reflector to diffuse the shadow on the opposing side. Be sure to keep the bounce card outside the camera's view.
Then a Kicker Light should be placed behind the talent the opposing side of the key light. This light should be higher than the talent, about a foot above their head. This will make a rim on the edge of the talent, making it so you can clearly distinguish the talent form the background.

Finally, you can add a background light if desired. This light is goint to light up the back area behing the talent.
