When browsing through a bookstore window, it is often the title that persuades you to choose one book over another. It's the same thing when you look at the results of the Google search results pages. You click on the most relevant result to your search, and you ignore the poorly written or unclear titles.

My first upgrade to Joomla 5

My name is Michael Michael (yes really) and I suspect I may be a very typical Joomla user. I have a full-time job completely unrelated to web design. Almost twenty years ago I wanted to build a website for a personal project and found Mambo. I loved it and what it became in Joomla.

Joomla Performance Tuning V: Content Quality

Joomla! 5.0 Bold in one year - But can WE do it?

The Joomla Production Department shares its thoughts, ideas, challenges and plans for Joomla! 5.0

What are the challenges we face?

Let’s be honest, every two years having a new, major release sounds scary. In the past, we have not always been up to the mark regarding migration and updates. The reasons were manifold. The long development phase led to a big gap between the current major and the upcoming version. And because technology constantly changes, any large period of time means a lot of technological changes have to be considered, which then entails a larger migration hurdle.

Being part of a global community: what does that mean for me?

"Hey! There’s going to be a Joomla User Group right here in this neighborhood," my partner Hilda said. "The first meeting is next week. You are going to attend." No way was I going to attend. The whole idea of going there didn’t appeal to me at all. So I said: "Nah, I don’t know. This is for people who know much more about Joomla than I do. Not for me."
