Normally this blog is full of pretty boring stuff. Like how to How to get People to Read More of your Joomla site or Template Names, Paths and Base URL for 1.5 Joomla Templates. The point is I rarely go off topic..
My buddy Mitch posted about a funny letter that Steve Jobs posted where Richard Stallman educates Dvorak about the GPL.

One of the most difficult parts in creating a Joomla website is achieving a professional looking layout on your pages. This has a lot do do with how you place your content, images and white space. Joomla sites tend to look the same and be locked into that portal look. You can always tell a site that has been created by a professional Joomla developer/designer, because it won't look like Joomla!
This is first of a series of reviews that look at how you can break out of that Joomla look, without having to pay a designer. After all, the point of Joomla is to save money by doing it yourself!
