Today JoomlArt Introduces our "New" Blog!

As you know, at the end of June we completely relaunched our site in Joomla 1.5 and redesigned the look and feel. We have been receiving great feedback and thought we should share our case study with the community. We will describe in short the process our team went through. But don't be scared, we do not write screeds about how to upgrade Joomla1.0 to 1.5x. Rather we will tell you why we completely revamped our website – what are the main objectives are we trying to achieve.

This year Joomla extensions team wants the community to get more involved in the JED Editor's Picks nominations. They are asking the users to nominate favorite extensions by filling out this nominations form. You can nominate as many extensions as you like but it has to be submitted before October 14, 2010.

Good news for our JA Extension Club (JAEC) members and JA Voice members. With effect from Tuesday 26th October 2010, JA Voice will be part of Extension Club and one can now enjoy the benefits of JAEC, where one can access high class unique Joomla! extensions along with unlimited domain usage and frontend copyright removal rights.

Hi there, the JoomlArt team wishes you happy Hallow's Eve. Get together with you loved ones and hope you'll enjoy some creepy nights. On this occasion we would like to thank all our members, the loyal developers and designers who are with us through all times. We have a little gift for you prepared.

Free JA Pumpkin module: Get a Flying Halloween Pumkini for your site

Nowadays it's nothing new to people, the concept "Try It Before You Buy". Especially in beauty shops you are offered to test free trial sized products like shampoo or lotions for instance. So the question is, does it make any sense, if the product is of low quality owners would let anybody test before paying? NO of course not! They firmly trust in the quality of their own products which allows them to approach new customers with a free sample trial.

Last Wednesday, Nov 03, Google's Webmaster Central Blog introduced the release of a module for Apache called mod_pagespeed - making your "websites run faster, automatically ... by about 2x in average".

We have seen a big wave of new product launches around cloud computing and hosting since last year. And it has even become hotter during the past few weeks.

On December 15th, the Joomla Project announced the immediate release of Joomla 1.6 release candidate 1. This release comes after a long series of beta's and a lot of hard work by the development team and bug squad.

On behalf of the whole JoomlArt team I wish you all the best for the year 2011. May most of your resolutions will get realized.

Only some hours left for most of you until the old year is gone. We would like to devote these last few hours rethinking about what has been achieved by our team and what not. We had a very ambitious plan at the beginning of 2010. We could not accomplished all our targets, but what we could is not too bad either:

If you haven’t seen the JoomlArt 2010 Recap post here on the blog, we covered alot of what JoomlArt Template Club did during the past year, but also touched on a few things we have planned for 2011. The JoomlArt Community continues to grow at a frantic pace, and we are working hard to make your experience at JoomlArt even better. Here’s some of what’s in store in the coming weeks.

Welcome Drupal 7

Tomorrow JAN 7th there will be a big Drupal 7 Release party, held on every place around the globe, in big cities and in small villages. Meetings with over 100+ enthusiasts but also little groups of 10 guys are coming together. The list of attendees may vary. But not the euphoria of an open-minded ("open-source") community of Drupal developers, themers and users to receive Drupal 7.

Joomla! 1.6 is being released today as General Availability, or in other words, Joomla 1.6.0. This is a huge milestone for the Joomla project, and JoomlArt would like to thank the entire Joomla Community for making this happen.

It has taken a lot of work, dedication, planning and execution from a lot of great minds to bring the world’s best Free and Open Source Content Management System to us, but it’s finally here!

As you may have seen, Joomla 1.6.0 Stable was released yesterday, and JoomlArt wants to make sure you have the Joomla 1.6 Components, Modules and Plugins you need to build your site using the latest Joomla release. JoomlArt has already released 22 Extensions for the Joomla 1.6.0 release, and we’re working hard to get even more extensions updated to 1.6.0. in the coming days!

The energy and excitement from the JoomlArt Community on the Joomla 1.6.0 release this week has been amazing!

JoomlArt is proud to announce 3 new contests for the JoomlArt Community Members! We’ve had some success in the past with our JoomlArt Site of the Month Contest, and our new Reloaded version promises to be bigger and better than ever with something for everyone!

JoomlArt is excited to announce our second round of Joomla 1.6 Templates on the JoomlArt T3v2 Framework. You will find 3 new templates, including JA Teline IV, JA Cloris and JA Rave in this batch of releases. Thanks for all the great feedback so far! Look for more releases next week.
