I’m a big fan of WordPress for Joomla. From corePHP, I use it on both the iJoomla blog and UsabilityTesting.tv. I love it because:
I can enjoy all the features of WordPress, the most powerful blogging platform!
It’s completely integrated in Joomla!
It makes my blogs look awesome.
But doing SEO for my WordPress blogs has always been a challenge. To assign a title metatag (the most important factor for SEO) and all the other metatags, I had to install a special plugin. And even with the plugin, I still have to open each [...] read more »

When we released iJoomla RSS feeder a few years ago, it was right after Google had bought FeedBurner, and the API still allowed developers to do a lot of neat stuff. Unfortunately, since then Google has changed the API so much that it’s now pretty limited. We’ve tried hard to make iJoomla RSS do all the things that it was supposed to do with FeedBurner but it’s become clear that’s not going to happen.
So we’ve decided to change iJoomla RSS into a basic RSS feed generator, and we’ve added a new feature allowing FeedBurner integration without performing the burn or [...] read more »

Learning how to use Joomla properly is vital, not just for Web designers, but for anyone who wants to keep control over their Web presence. Joomla empowers publishers, freeing them from reliance on designers who charge an eye and a leg to make the smallest changes and add new features.
But it’s not completely straightforward. It takes a little education, training and practice to master Joomla’s CMS, so how do you reach the point where you’re doing everything by yourself, without spending hours sorting through forums, watching substandard YouTube tutorials and reading badly written manuals?
To become a pro, you go to [...] read more »

We’ve just released iJoomla SEO version 1.1.0 and many of the improvements it contains are down to you. As you know, we monitor user suggestions on our forum very closely and tackle a different extension each time. The latest version of iJoomla SEO is packed with suggestions raised by users:
Choose your Google site. Now you can choose the Google site you use to monitor keywords. Just go to the settings page and replace the .com extension with any other Google extension.
Extensions metatags sync. Previous versions of iJoomla SEO retained different metatag entries in supported extensions. Now those entries sync. When [...] read more »

Because so many Joomla users use VirtueMart as their shopping cart, and because VirtueMart has no easy way to control metatags, one frequent request that we received was to support the extension on iJoomla SEO. So we did it.
The latest version of iJoomla SEO allows you to manage all your VirtueMart metatags in one place. You’ll be able to:
Add/edit title, keyword and description metatags on both categories and products;
Quickly generate new description metatags;
Populate title and keyword metatags in a snap;
Monitor your keywords on Google.
And it’s all so easy! Take a look at the video below [...] read more »

Unlimited article zones;
Module zones;
Mini articles;
Automatic image resizing;
Advanced author profiles;
Improved sidebars functionality;

The CMS Expo in Chicago was amazing. It’s always amazing but this year was really special: iJoomla won the award for “Best App Developer for Joomla”!
That’s a fantastic feeling and it really is great to be acknowledged. We owe a big thanks to everyone in the Joomla community and especially to our customers who keep sending us their ideas for improvements. Winning an award is inspiring but nothing pushes us harder than seeing what you’re doing with our products.
And it was also great to see our friends at JomSocial taking home the prize for “Best Joomla App.” Not unexpected but [...] read more »

Dries Buytaert Ph.D., founder of Drupal CMS, thinks Joomla is a great CMS. He even agreed to take a photo that says “Joomla Rocks!”, at the CMS Expo in Chicago!
Dries, has told me that Drupal has been doing a lot of Usability Testing for the upcoming Drupal 7.0, so I am excited to check it out. Hopefully Joomla will follow!
