I read the PC mag (offline) magazine and saw that the site had a redesign. In my professional curiosity I checked it out.
I was absolutely astonished to see how poorly it has been coded. A quick check revealed 634 errors.

Over the next few weeks, as promised in our Joomla email newsletter review, I'll be looking at some of the best of breed option for non-Joomla hosted solution for email marketing. As well as functionality and pricing, I'll also be carefully looking at how well they all can integrate into Joomla.

So far we have reviewed Constant Contact, Get Response and Intellicontact.

I'll be helping out at Joomla's booth at LinuxWorld in San Francisco. The exhibition doors open to the public on Tuesday, August 15, and pre-register (it is free for exhibit only access).

When I talk to clients, the usual comment about Joomla is that its a CMS for very small businesses or small personal sites. My ususal response is these two great sites, both are made with Joomla:

www.porsche.com.br
www.unric.org

More and more bigger organizations are turning towards Open Source as a viable CMS solution.

Welcome to web 3.0! 

If you have been around at Compass Designs recently, you will have noticed I have done a redesign. I was using the WordPress component for my blog. I was finding it very difficult to use, so I set myself the goal of trying to set up a blog using just the default features of Joomla and the minimum number of components.
