Nice works Barry.

It first caught my eye when looking at your "Powered by Joomla 1.5" badge, but did you intend to leave the "!" off every reference to Joomla!?

Not yet live, but my first attempt at Joomla! 1.5 is www.yarravalleypasta.com.au/index.php.

Your template tutorial was a great help and much appreciated.

Not bad site!

I think the ! loss is habit. I lost count of the number of times I typed out "Joomla" for my book. I made the decision early on to leave it off, I type slow enough as it is!

Like your new site as well as I did the old one. There are however some links that don´t work. I tryed to dowload the CSSTemplateTutorialStep1.zip from the 1.5 tutorial, and it didn´t work. Could you tell me where I can find it?

Hi Barrie,

The new site looks great. It's even got my old comments which is nice.
I'm about to do a couple of sites with 1.5 wish me luck.

@Lief
They should be in the download section which I re-arranged. All 4 are bundled as one download.

@Nick
Good luck smilies/wink.gif. Migrating the comments was actually the #1 easiest part!

I'd actually have a question. Migrating not only the site but the comments etc... was a good job! Do you notice any negative effects like page-rank drop, search engine ranking change or drop in daily traffic from search engines? I'm planning to move to 1.5 but I'm concerned about the URR change!

I'll be blogging about that soon, you can read about my page-rank strategy here:
