Wordpress SEO is not better than Joomla. Period

Seems like its going to be one of those rant days...

/rant on

I just found Yet Another Post About Wordpress SEO (YAPAWS) that is saying its better than Joomla Joomla's.

This is simply not true!!!!!

Last year I tested Wordpress and Joomla SEO, and guess what? There was no real difference, if anything, Joomla was better!

What does it take to build a Joomla community

Jan 22 2009 - Tagged in:

You may have noticed a couple of days ago, I added some new community/social networking features to compassdesigns.net - powered by Joomla Jomsocial. "What's the deal?" you might ask...

Over the last few months I have noticed more and more of my blog posts and presentations talking about community in some fashion. From presentations at the Denver CMS Expo about Building Online Communities, to Joomla tutorials about Building Online Communities with Joomla, trying to help build communities around charity organizations websites and musings on "are Online Communities the new Blogs?". I have even watched over the growth of two communities in my own businesses at Joomlashack and Joomla Simplweb.

This hasn't been an intentional path, but last week I really noticed it for the first time.

Or is is Twit?

It got mentioned a couple of times at the Denver Joomla CMS Expo I was a twitter-hater. I think the expression I used was "web-enabled verbal diarrhoea".

Well, a got a good email from someone with a daft pic, so I thought I would take the plunge.

Are Online Communities the new Blogs?

It seems that Joomla online communities are everywhere.

Start ups like Ning and KickApps have got meaningful VC funding to start them. More people are presenting on topics like Building Online Communities. Heck, even traditional blogger like Brian Clark are pondering on how to increase the level of interaction on their blogs.

My bags are almost packed for heading to Denver for the Joomla CMS Expo next week, and I spent a few minutes making sure I had all my ski gear accounted for.

Skiing? Joomla Joomla? Wha?

Software as Service and Open Source

Last week I wrote a post, Did Stallman Say Gmail is Worse than Stupidity where I noted that Stallman had made some interesting comments about the dangers (as he saw them) of running SaaS.

I just came across another post on GigaOM that pointed out an interesting aspect I had never thought of. The post asserted that the ability to run software is perhaps more important than having the code in your hands.
