Joe — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 08:26:25 +0000

In today’s article we will cover Joomla templates without massive images in headers. Of course, in most cases a header image is the main web design element; it attracts attention and provides you with a stunning bill-board for promoting your brand, but sometimes you do not want to emphasize the header. And, what do you do then? You can either create a new website yourself, or find a Joomla template that will meet your needs.

Here are 10 Joomla templates that you may find useful because neither of them comes with a big image in the header. Some of these templates are premium web page designs that you can buy at a fair price and some of them are free Joomla templates.

Joomla 2.5.0 Finally!

Joe — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 10:18:56 +0000

Yesterday the Joomla project announced the availability of Joomla 2.5.0. This is a security release. So you should have no worries when you upgrade your Joomla site.

Actually, Joomla 2.5 is another milestone in the development of the Joomla CMS and it is marked by dramatical changes. For instance, it’s for the first time that the Joomla CMS includes multi-database support with the addition of Microsoft SQL Server. Other versions of Joomla that were released before were only compatible with MySQL databases. Also, when logged into the control panel Joomla users will be notified each time a new release of Joomla or a new Joomla extension is available. For a detailed list of features that will come with Joomla 2.5, please read the following article

New Features in Joomla! 2.5

If for some reasons you are unable to update to version 2.5.0, feel free to download Joomla 1.7.4, but please rememeber that Joomla 1.7 will not be supported after February 24th, 2012.

All who are using Joomla as a platform for their websites are welcome to upgrade to Joomla 2.5.0 or Joomla 1.7.4 depending on their needs, because the power and security of Joomla increase with each new release.

When a Home Page is an Enter Page

Joe — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:10:10 +0000

A home page is the most critical page of any website, whether a Joomla site or any other site. The main purpose of a homepage is to let visitors know what a website has to offer, but sometimes webmasters don’t want too much information on the homepage and that is why they create enter pages or welcoming pages. These are the first pages users see once they enter websites.

If you want your Joomla site to have an enter page too, be sure to keep it as simple as possible so it does not look cluttered. For instance, why don’t you make your enter page of a background image and a navigation bar only? This way the navigation bar will stand out on the page and your website users will only visit the pages they are interested in, without spending time to scan the whole home page.

So if you would like the home page of your Joomla site to look like an enter page, you may then use any of the 10 Joomla templates below.

Joe — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 10:48:59 +0000

Joomla 2.5 RC 1 is available now. It’s the latest release of Joomla yet, but it is meant for testing purposes only and it is not recommended for live Joomla sites. As for a security release of the Joomla CMS, it is expected on the 24th of January 2012.

We are sharing the news about the availability of Joomla 2.5 RC 1 so that users could test it and report all bugs to developers who will get the bugs fixed before the security release is launched. Also, once you download Joomla 2.5 RC 1 you can see what it’s like to upgrade your sites from Joomla 1.7 to Joomla 2.5.0.

Enjoy testing the latest version of Joomla because Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 1.7 will not be supported in a few months, and the sooner you learn how to use Joomla 2.5.0 the better
