New Products from a Joomla Lead Developer
If you’ve been around the Joomla or Mambo projects during the last 5 years, you’ll have heard of Andrew Eddie. Currently he has the unwieldy title of “Development Working Group Coordinator”, but spend any time on the forum and you’ll see he’s hard at work in many areas of the Joomla project. Last year we interviewed Andrew about extensions that he was developing. This week he launched his new site JXtended.com and with it over a dozen products. Apart from making the owner of JExtended.com rich (I mistyped three times when writing this article alone) what can we expect from…
All Alledia Blog Posts Now Creative Commons Licensed
Quite a lot of people have written asking permission to translate blog posts here on Alledia, so it made sense for me to clarify the license for the articles. As of today, all Alledia.com blogs posts are now licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States License. That means you can copy, translate and mashup any and all blog posts. The only requirement is that you provide a link back to the original article.
Short Cuts for Great Google Rankings
Sometimes you just want a short-cut. Sometimes the idea of slogging away for months to reach your goal just doesn’t seem worth the effort. Take the woman on the right. My wife just went to Japan and found this “Dancing Cowboy” machine. Designed for people who want to get fit without effort, you don’t have to do anything. Sit there, and the machine will shake like a horse and do the exercise for you. I’m sure theres a lot of people out there who’d like some SEO shortcuts. From an e-mail I got this week: “4 months to do SEO…
Joomla Events No Longer a Rare Event
I’ve been in the Mambo and Joomla world for several years now without going to a Joomla event. Now I’m headed to two within the next six weeks (Chicago and Vancouver) and every time I look at Joomla.org theres a new event announced. I did some research and in April alone there were Joomla events in Norway, Canada, South Africa, the Netherlands, France and Spain.

Review of the Missing Metadata Module
Dan Rahmel’s Missing Metadata module has been floating around the “top rated” list on joomla.org for some months. The module was created as an example for Dan’s book Beginning Joomla!, but is it useful as more than a coding demonstration?
The One Where Steve Goes All Matt Cutts
Those of you who hate having their picture taken (90% of you? 95%?) will know how I felt. Several people have been asking for photos of me ready for upcoming events. I tried to put if off for as long as possible but today I needed to get it done. I’ll be at the upcoming Joomla events in Chicago and Vancouver, so if you want to say hello, you know what I look like. As the camera was out, I thought it might be a good idea to introduce to my blogging partner, Ninja. This little guy is rarely far…

I write summary posts very rarely, but in the last few weeks I’ve read several great Joomla-related articles. Its time to point you towards five really useful Joomla blog posts, one each on the topics of usability, performance, analytics, e-commerce and MySQL.
