Blogging with Joomla

Based on our Joomla experience, we have noticed that a small number of webmasters are using Joomla for blogging. I think that Joomla is offering a very well endowed environment and maybe the Joomla dev team should focus on attracting as many bloggers as possible. Right now, as you read these lines, there are more than 30 million bloggers all over the world …and counting. Even if a great deal of them is using free blogs, there are plenty of them that own or wish to buy their own blogging domain. If those would be attracted to Joomla, the number of Joomla users would exponentially increase. More >

What is AJAX and how does it works
Jul 7th
What is Ajax?
Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a technology that allows a web page to perform actions or update dynamically, without completely reloading. By using Ajax technology, a web site can be more responsive and interactive than a non-Ajax site. For instance, without Ajax, Google Maps might require you to click a link on the left side of the map and wait for the page to reload in order to scroll the map to the left. With Ajax, you can instead simply drag the map to scroll, and while there might be a small delay, it is a much shorter delay and less disruptive process than if you had to wait for the entire page to load.
