Getting the Most out of ExpressionEngine¶

Get Familiar with the User Guide¶

All of ExpressionEngine’s functionality is well-documented. Explore the User Guide and get familiar with the software.

The Modules section of the User Guide is what you’ll likely reference most. Since most of EE’s functionality is built into Modules, and EE Tags are used to access that functionality, being familiar with this section of the User Guide is very helpful.

Subscribe to the EllisLab News Feed¶

We highly recommended that you subscribe to the EllisLab Network News feed. We announce all major releases in the feed along with tips, resources, and other information regarding ExpressionEngine, including any security related news.

Review and Subscribe to the ExpressionEngine Releases Forum¶

The ExpressionEngine Releases forum is dedicated to announcing new versions. We recommend that web developers and those responsible for maintaining an ExpressionEngine site subscribe to the forum RSS feed.

Get Involved with the ExpressionEngine Community Forums¶

We can’t stress enough the importance of the ExpressionEngine Community Forums. We have one of the best user communities on the Internet. On the forums you’ll find people who can help you with just about anything. In addition, we have dedicated staff and volunteers who will help you get the most out of EE. You might start out by hanging out in The Lounge.

Go ahead and explore the Forums and get involved. Remember, the more you give to the community, the more you’ll get back.
