Hello,

I am beginning a complete overhaul of my website and content that I collect to document my collection and present it for others (family, collectors, education, research). I’ve decided to use Joomla https://docs.joomla.org/Main_Page for managing the content. I have roughly 350 items to document and most of the data is at hand,

I would like to solicit your comments on the data for each item. Have I missed anything? Remember, this is about content, not web page design.

Here is my content management data list. Please reply with your comments if you are so inclined?
