This 38 minute screencast is designed to help you best configure your site before giving your clients access to it.

Or would you like to build an extranet using ExpressionEngine?

This hour-long screencast covers the basics of offering members-only content on an EE site, and builds on the member extranet idea by showing you how to allow members to submit content via a limited view of the EE Control Panel.

Then it wraps up by showing how to implement workflow for those member submissions so member-submitted posts need to be approved before appearing live on the site.

Seriously...there’s weblogs and categories and global variables and the pages module and fresh variables and global variables and....aaugh!

What you are struggling with is how to design an ExpressionEngine Architecture, or EEA.  That moment of frustration is what this hour-long screencast was designed to get you through.
