Compass Designs

Over at Copyblogger, Sonia Simone made a recent post about Getting Naked. No, it wasn't a college party, but rather the concept of being honest, sometimes painfully so in your blog. Current wisdom among bloggers is that this is a good standard to follow, you'll see popular bloggers ranging from Dooce, SEOMoz and even Joomla's Alledia sharing things that traditionally would be thought of as perhaps private. In each case, the sharing has been well received, and all importantly, worthy of traffic.

Due to demands we have been able to add another class at our Joomla University training event on the 17th may in Chicago -  "Building a Joomla site from Scratch in 3 hours". The Class will be taught by Brian Teeman.

Co-Founder of Joomla & Open Source Matters Inc, Brian was honored to receive the 2005 award for best UK contribution to Open Source software for his work. He has been working with faith based and voluntary sector organizations for over 25 years helping them to take advantage of the latest IT trends. (Yes he is older than he looks).

I am sure this class will fill up fast, so head to www.compassdesigns.net/training.html and sign up if you are interested.

You may have noticed a new menu option on the menu above called "Training".

Its been a long time coming, but I am very excited to be able to announce our first Joomla training event in the US. Its going to be the day after the Joomla EXPO 2008 in Chicago.

The EXPO is on Friday 16th of May, and the training is on Saturday the 17th. The classrooms are right next to the hotel where the EXPO is being held!

OK, so in my last post, Live Day 1 SEF URL problems I explained my master plan to do some htaccess redirection for all my old links.

Now, despite my current issue getting data on 404's, I can still make some headway because I *do* know some of the URL's that need redirecting. 

So here we are on day 1 of going live. Now to start putting my master plan into action on how to migrate all my old links.

Thoughts?
