This is a guest blog post by Edward Rid from Bestjoomladesign.com. Don't forget that the official Joomla showcase site is also available at community.joomla.org/showcase.
On our website we've been trying collect examples of sites that can be inspiring to Jooma designers. Below is a short roundup of Joomla sites that have been already submitted to us. These designs illustrate the power of...
Over the last year our business model has evolved quite substantially. From being a traditional webdesign firm we've increasingly focused on Joomla training. After starting slowly last summer, we're now holding up to 15 classes per month.
We're proud to announce that we've scheduled our 100th Joomla class.
We've also decided to make it special. The 100th class will be completely free to...
Sometimes its hard to think of ideas for a blog post, so here are ten topics that will guarantee a really popular Joomla article:
For several months now I've been hinting that we have a major geographic domain name to launch on Joomla.
Well, life got in the way ... the Joomla training classes became really popular, we had other sites to launch and almost everyone we work with is having a baby this year.
So, although its missing a lot of features that are currently unpublished and being worked on, its time to soft-launch
Its time for us to put the coffee on and get some more Red Bull ... starting tomorrow we'll have a really busy week over at Joomla Training. In total, there are 8 classes in 8 days coming up on the JoomlaTraining.com schedule, including 3 in the Mid-West, 2 in Texas and 3 in the South-East.
All three classes are led by our expert teacher, Rod Martin. They take place at the beautiful...
Back in October 2008 we released Bolt which we marketed as "The World's Fastest Joomla Template". Several other template developers asked for copies to test against their own work, but the results were clear.
Nearly 10 months later, someone has come along and beaten that mark. We're proud of course that a company with 12 full-time template designers feels the need to compete with 2 guys...
That's the clear conclusion of the data from Google Trends.
Drupal has been substantially behind Joomla in popularity ever since the two projects were founded. Wordpress has constantly grown its following and may even overtake Joomla this year, whereasDrupal has grown very slowly and steadily without ever looking likely to catch either.
Drupal is great software and powers many amazing sites,...
Time moves quickly. We did our first Joomla class in June 2008 and little more than a year later we're approaching class number 50.
Our 49th class is in Phoenix this Friday and then the big #50 will be our beginner class in Atlanta next week. To celebrate, Christmas is coming early to our students in that 50th class. We've arranged for a huge bag of Joomla goodies.
If you can't make it to...
Brian Teeman posted earlier this week about Joomla.me which tries to find the most visited Joomla sites. The results were somewhat strange with quite a few minor sites appearing high up. On closer inspection it seems that the major problem was their methodology was using Alexa.com, a notoriously unreliable guide to website traffic numbers.
So I'd like to open this up to community. What do you...
