Welcome to the new Compass Designs website, powered by Joomla 1.5! The goal of this new site is to be the place to bookmark if you are looking for quality Joomla tutorials, news and tips.
Last week, the Joomla Extensions Team made a welcome change in how they are asking third party developers to post their extensions to extensions.joomla.org.
Previously, you could search for extensions that work with 1.5, but the results would include many (if not most) that only worked in legacy mode.
Well, that's been solved.
Back in October there was a brief discussion about the all important page title tag in Joomla 1.5 and its importance for SEO. Essentially, in 1.0 your page titles would always get appended (unless you had a SEF component) leading to potentially long titles. In 1.5, the behavior was changed so that if there was a page/article title, the global site title would be ignored.
That's all well and good, but the reality of SEO is not so clear cut.
