More webexperiments…

Well i’ve been quiet at work this week, so i have been exploring the graphics capability of Joomla, an alternative website platform to Wordpress. I use Wordpress for this site and for other sites i’ve developed in Chile.

Joomla seems very similar to Wordpress and even uses an embedded Wordpress blog! It is open source developed although it appears that fewer themes are available for free and they are generally less flexible/editable.

The list of extensions to Joomla is quite incredible- there are so many gallery possibilities, including modules, components, plugins… all with multi-language capabilities. They look really exciting.

I’ll have a go with Joomla and i may even transfer our site into Joomla as an experiment. Of course, work might pick up again, in which case i’ll have to drop another commitment, like youth group, reading the bible, my wife or just reading the news.

Watch this space.

    Hi Doug,

    The internet is the biggest curse EVER when it comes to reading the news. I think I need to go into rehab for new addiction!!

    Hello Senor Douglas,

    I’d be v interested to hear of your experiementations with Joomla… I thought it was in someway endorsed by W3C? (might be wrong).

    What do you run your site from at the mo’ (server-wise)? I know you develop with wordpress but is the site served up by apache? just asking because I may need to set something up myself in the near future….
