Answer: When the traffic goes elsewhere! A review of my Joomla book was on Slashdot.com earlier today. Fortunately, there was no links to my site, that would have crushed the poor VPS I run on. Overall it seems that the book got a favorable review, which is nice to see: Joomla! A User's Guide is a logically organized and potentially quite valuable resource for beginning and intermediate Joomla developers -- perhaps the best Joomla book currently available. I especially liked some of the comments I read..... I thought Joomla was a robotic vacuum cleaner. What do you know? I bet you've never even seen a hippopotamus, let alone heard one fart underwater. It's a book about using an open source cms and ........ I'm supposed to BUY this? "CMS" will always stand for the "Conversational Monitoring System" component of VM/370, VM/SP, VM/ESA, etc. Ahhhh.... comment humor.....! |
