1. user profiles
2. photo gallery ( sub-galleries - landscape --> mountains / landscape --> clouds )
3. banner rotation different sized banners.
4. rss feed news media.
5. [spam] , twitter showcase ( show recent posts both )

pirate mouse, somalian mouse? ;)

as new joomla, here's advice:

1- install wamp or xampp or lamp pending on os have on computer. install joomla in that.
that way can learn basics of joomla without harm.
2- install akeeba backup in joomla.
it isn't difficult, , backup vital.
3- users easy create , manage in joomla.
4- banner rotators find in jed.
5- photo galleries too.
6- spam can in supermarket, twitter can find extensions in jed.
7- blogging 1 of weaker points of joomla, can, once again, find plenty of extensions in jed. of paid, mind you.

templates can find online. go joomla.24.com, that's source free , commercial templates.

once you're happy site under construction, make backup akeeba. ftp backup , kickstart.php root of site online. type url http://www.my_site.com/kickstart.php , follow screens. that's have learned using wamp. site online in mere minutes.

good luck!
