With the exception of e-commerce,it seems to be their default system for building customer sites. For those of you not familiar with BT, it is far and away the biggest telecom company in the U.K.

Joomla Classes in the U.K.: London and Cambridge
It is that time of the year again ... I'm headed back the U.K. for a couple of weeks.
Mainly the trip will be family-orientated as I've sisters who are graduating, getting married and having babies. There's a lot to catch up on!
However, it's a rare vacation nowadays that doesn't involve Joomla in some way. So we're holding two Joomla training classes, one in Cambridge on June 25th and another...
SEO Template Presentation from Joomla Day Netherlands
Joomla Day Netherlands took place this weekend and by all accounts it was a great success.
There was the official release for Joomla's new Resources Directory, a presentation with useful security tips by Brian Teeman, and a really good overview of how to create a Joomla SEO-optimized template:
Rene Kreijveld from Webcreatives.nl does a great job of explaining how to create a basic...
What's Your Favorite Joomla Analogy?
People who teach Joomla know they feeling ... things have been going well, but suddenly there's a blank look. The student's stuck on one point. You've tried a few ways to explain it, but they're not getting the big picture. You rack your brain and start, "well, Joomla's just like a ... " and you try to dig out a comparison.
Here are my top five favorite analogies to help people grasp Joomla's...
What's Happening With Joomla?

"Yo Mos, what's gettin ready to happen with Hip-Hop?"

Joomla Classes in Nashville and Charlotte

Its time to spread the Joomla gospel (the Jospel?) a little further around the south so early next week we're headed to Charlotte, North Carolina and the Music City of Nashville, Tennessee. We'll be in Charlotte on...
Thoughts From Two Weeks Away
In the last two weeks I've been in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Washington, New York and even Alaska. Just one more short trip to Charlotte and Nashville left.
The trip taught me something. For two weeks I kept in touch via email and cellphone but had no time for three things I'd been using every day. Two of them I really missed, the other ... not so much.
Leadership is Now The Strongest Marketing Strategy
One of the hardest things to explain to people when we're discussing SEO nowadays is that its not about the h1 tags, nofollow links and managing Page Rank. Aaron Wood summed this up well by saying that for the modern marketer, PR should stand for "personal relationships" rather than "Page Rank". Even more accurate is this quote from Seth Godin

Sponsored Review of WebHostingReport.com
This is an interesting review request that popped up in our inbox. WebHostingReport.com is a good domain name but a somewhat thin affiliate site. It aims to rank for hosting, blog hosting, cheap web hosting and other keyword terms.
