Free Tweet This Plugin for Joomla 1.5

May 04 2009 - Tagged in:

Over the last week weeks I have be preparing for my graduate class (starts Saturday!) on Web 2.0 Marketing with Joomla. I was on the lookout for a simple plugin that could provide a Tweet this link to twitter and show it in blog posts and articles.

I was surprised that I couldn't find one, apart from the Javascript "tweetmeme" script. This works well, but inserts *their* twitter name into the tweet.

So, I pinged Fotis at Joomlaworks and we collaborated on an easy solution. The AutoFooter Tweet This Joomla plugin that will allow you to put HTML code as well as a tweet this link in all articles.

Find Native Joomla 1.5 Extensions Easier

Last week, the Joomla 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. 

Better SEO Titles for Joomla 1.5

Feb 19 2008 - Tagged in:

Back in October there was a brief discussion about the all important page title tag in Joomla 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.
