If you haven't sign up yet for the free Safari Books Online Webcast Series - Black Belt Joomla, you have about 4 hours to do it!

I am being extra-ordinarily organized and putting up the slides so you can download before the webcast - how good is that!

Taking the "Black Belt" theme, here are the moves you need to be ju-jitsu'ing on your website to make it successful.

• What is the GOAL of your website
• Don't make your site too complicated
• I have two golden rules..
• Turn on SEF, craft article titles, use linking modules
• Use an SEO-friendly template
• Use very big banana's
• Use template and component overrides to customize output
• Take control of your homepage
• Use template overrides to improve conversion on registration
• You mean your not using Google Goals (analytics)
• Joomla has users out of the box, but add social networking
• Offer something of value in return for an email
• Learn Joomla the easy way
