Tiki Essentials is the follow-up to the #1 (OK, the only one, that I'm aware of) beginner's guide for Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware: Tiki for Dummies Smarties.


Tiki Essentials will help you take your Tiki-based website to the next level and become a member of the Tiki community. You'll learn the tips and tricks that I have accumulated over the years as a Tiki community member and code contributor, member of the Tiki Software Association, and (most-importantly) the administrator for several Tiki-based websites.
