With the advent of CMS like WordPress and Drupal, webmasters can now manage websites with little or no web development expertise. These two content management systems are among the best in the industry, but which one is the favorite?

In terms of popularity, WordPress seems to be the best choice above all competitors. Originally designed as a blogging platform, WordPress has grown into an extremely useful content management system over the past few years. One of the strong point of WordPress is the large quantity of plugins available that have been designed by independent developers. These plugins are basically additions to the CMS, which enhance the functionality of the user interface.

Drupal is a unique advanced content management system that gives the user complete control over the development of a site. Unlike other CMS which utilize WYSIWYG editors and simplified interfaces, Drupal is made specifically for web developers. In fact, it is commonly said that Drupal is actually more of a development platform than just a simple CMS. Even though Drupal is not very user-friendly, it is perfect for professional web developers that need full control over scripting and advanced site design.

Both content management systems have their own pros and cons; however WordPress is generally seen as being the best choice for beginners. More advanced web developers should consider Drupal, as it offers freedom and control not seen in any other CMS.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From time to time you may want to update your WordPress installation to the latest version. You might want to do this because you've seen a message at the top of your Dashboard telling you that a new release is available, because you've been made aware of some useful new functionality, or because a security fix has been released. 

Check Requirements 

Whatever the reason for updating, before getting started it is best to check the current minimum requirements page first to make sure that your web host has the required versions of PHP and MySQL. (If you are not sure, then your hosting provider should be able to tell you.) 

Take a Backup 

The next thing to do is to take a backup of your database. All your posts and Pages are held in the database, so you will need to have a copy of it in case, for whatever reason, you change your mind after upgrading and need to go back. If you are not sure how to backup your database, then complete instructions can be found in the WordPress Backups section of the Codex.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From time to time you may want to update your WordPress installation to the <a title="http://wordpress.org/download/" href="http://wordpress.org/download/">latest version</a>. You might want to do this because you&#8217;ve seen a message at the top of your Dashboard telling you that a new release is available, because you&#8217;ve been made aware of some useful new functionality, or because a security fix has been released.</p>
<h3>Check Requirements</h3>
<p>Whatever the reason for updating, before getting started it is best to <strong>check the current <a title="http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/" href="http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/">minimum requirements</a> page</strong> first to make sure that your web host has the required versions of PHP and MySQL. (If you are not sure, then your hosting provider should be able to tell you.)</p>
<h3>Take a Backup</h3>
<p>The next thing to do is to <strong>take a backup of your database</strong>. All your posts and Pages are held in the database, so you will need to have a copy of it in case, for whatever reason, you change your mind after upgrading and need to go back. If you are not sure how to backup your database, then complete instructions can be found in the <a title="WordPress  Backups" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups">WordPress Backups</a> section of the Codex.</p>
<h3>Disable Plugins</h3>
<p>The final preperation step is to <strong>disable plugins</strong>. Now, you don&#8217;t <em>have</em> to do this, but every now and again a plugin hasn&#8217;t been updated to work with the latest version of WordPress, and causes a problem after the upgrade. So, it&#8217;s best to try and avoid that, yes? You can easily disable your plugins by heading to the <a title="Plugins Installed SubPanel" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins_Installed_SubPanel">Manage Plugins</a> page in the Dashboard, changing the &#8220;Bulk Actions&#8221; pull down menu to &#8220;Deactivate&#8221; and clicking &#8220;Apply&#8221;.</p>
<h3>Ready to Update</h3>
<p>Now that you&#8217;ve checked that you&#8217;re ready to update, you&#8217;ve turned off your plugins and you&#8217;ve got your backup, it&#8217;s time to get started.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Almost a year passed since Joomla became a real CMS. Now it's time to make a little study to find if it's still growing and if it's more powerful than Mambo. A few days ago Google released Google Trends , a nice and helpful tool for webmasters. This study is based on searches made by regular users on Google. I must say that this tool has a small problem. It doesn't show the number of searches (probably millions) but you will see that it give us a clue where Joomla is compared to Mambo.

Of course our first comparison is based on the name of CMS: Mambo vs Joomla. As you can see below Mambo has a descended trend over the last few months. Now, of course Joomla is rising because it's new and it's growing, but only one or two months ago Joomla received for the first time more search hits than Mambo. The descending trend for Mambo started exactly when Joomla was born and the descending trend is almost comparable to Joomla's ascending one. On the graph the differences are small, but let’s make the search more specific.

Now it&#8217;s time to make a little study to find if it&#8217;s still growing and if it&#8217;s more powerful than <strong>Mambo</strong>. A few days ago Google released <a href="http://www.google.com/trends" target="_blank">Google Trends</a> , a nice and helpful tool for webmasters. This study is based on searches made by regular users on Google. I must say that this tool has a small problem. It doesn&#8217;t show the number of searches (probably millions) but you will see that it give us a clue where <strong>Joomla is compared to Mambo</strong>.</p>
<p>Of course our first comparison is based on the name of CMS: <strong>Mambo vs Joomla</strong>. As you can see below Mambo has a descended trend over the last few months. Now, of course Joomla is rising because it&#8217;s new and it&#8217;s growing, but only one or two months ago Joomla received for the first time more search hits than Mambo. The descending trend for Mambo started exactly when Joomla was born and the descending trend is almost comparable to Joomla&#8217;s ascending one. On the graph the differences are small, but let&#8217;s make the search more specific.</p>
<p><strong>Mambo templates vs Joomla templates</strong>. A lot of users search for new templates. I think this is one of the best keyword to show how Joomla is doing. Mambo templates keyword was searched for the first time in the early 2004. The number of searches continues to grow until in the middle of 2005 when there was the split between Mambo and Joomla. People searched in that period for mambo until the new name Joomla came into play. Now as you see, Joomla templates keyword grew very fast in number of searches, but Mambo templates started to fall. And now the Joomla Templates keywords have almost taken over Mambo Templates Keyword.</p>
<p><strong>Mambo components vs Joomla components</strong>. Same with this, there are thousands of Joomla extensions/ components available and the number is growing every hour. This is not the case of Mambo. On the basis of latest surveys, the release of latest components for mambo has dropped to a huge number.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot have been written for and against <strong>Joomla</strong> Content Management System (CMS). The usual saying is that <strong>Joomla</strong> is not a best bet in terms of Search Engine friendliness. However, this is the view of those unprofessional who really don&#8217;t know how to optimize the power of this Content Management System.</p>
<p><strong>Joomla</strong> is among the best the world has ever seen in terms of CMS and for the critics, <strong>Joomla</strong> can be Search Engine friendly provided it is handled by <strong>SEO experts</strong> who know how to maximize Search Engine results for Joomla websites. <strong>Search Engine optimization</strong> is a crucial tool in the hands of <strong>Internet marketing</strong> professionals, and although it is widely believed that <strong>Joomla</strong> is perhaps the toughest to optimize for Search Engine results, yet it is very much possible if the professionals know their job and have an in-depth knowledge of <strong>Joomla</strong> CMS.</p>
<p><strong>Joomla</strong> is a better choice for <strong>SEO</strong> than its traditional competition because of the following reasons:</p>
<p>1.       <strong>More visible URLs:</strong> Search Engine friendly URLs that end with .html or .htm and don&#8217;t have a &#8216;?&#8217; or other special characters is one of the characteristic of <strong>Joomla</strong>.</p>
<p>2.       <strong>Customizable Title and Meta tags:</strong> Each page can be easily customized for Title and Meta tags that prevent duplication, which is viewed negatively by popular Search Engines. You are empowered with a unique menu system that makes the task of customizing simpler.</p>
<p>3.       <strong>Header Tags feature:</strong> You are given free hand to make changes in the versatile template system and easily add the Header tags.</p>
<p>4.       <strong>Custom 404 Error Page:</strong> A customized 404 Error page has become the order of the day, especially when surfers are getting bored of the same error message replicated in the websites. With Joomla, you can customize this vital page and also keep track of the broken links people are using to surf your site.</p>
<p>5.       <strong>Nofollow:</strong> Joomla allows you to use Nofollow feature, which instructs the Search Engines not to rank pages, like Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, and other similar essential, but non-optimized pages.</p>
<p>6.       <strong>Newsletter:</strong> Newsletter forms a vital ingredient of a successful commercial website. You can remain in touch with your customers and prospects with this feature, which can be integrated through a customized newsletter extension in your Joomla.</p>
<p>7.       <strong>Blogs: </strong>Blogs offer a unique personalized tone to your approach towards your target traffic. Well written and optimized blogs not just attract more traffic to your website, but also enhances the goodwill of your product and/or service. Joomla offers user-friendly tools to post your blogs online without much effort.</p>
<p>8.       <strong>Sitemap:</strong> With Joomla component or extension, a sitemap of your website can be automatically generated. This sitemap could be either html-based or xml-based. <strong>Submission</strong> of sitemap to Google, Yahoo, and other popular Search Engines is not of great help; however, it will help to index your site quickly.</p>
<p>9.       <strong>RSS Feeds:</strong> RSS (or &#8216;Really Simple Syndication&#8217;) feeds represent the oft-used cutting edge technology that enable a website owner to continually freshen the website content without having to make periodic content updates. These feeds are popular among search engines, like MSN, Yahoo News, etc. as they offer user-friendly RSS feeds of their search results. <strong>SEO experts</strong> are adept at integrating RSS feeds feature to your Joomla website.</p>
<p>10.   <strong>Link Exchange and Other Software:</strong> For the traditional SEO fans, Joomla has the ability to offer several link exchange software that can be easily added to your site. These softwares will automate the process of link exchange and helps you to aggressively promote your website on the Internet.</p>
<p>Similarly, Joomla offers other third party software in order to address specific concerns of the most common requirements of websites, like Shopping Cart, User Registration, etc.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[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. 
The fact that Joomla is open source is a great advantage compared to other CMS’s. Being very easy to install and configure, new users can have their own site in a matter of minutes. At the same time, Joomla is highly configurable, the advanced users having the possibility to make lots of changes. As the user grows more and more familiar with Joomla, they will discover a great number of integrated options to customize their CMS. 
It is very important for a blogger to have the possibility of manipulating images the easy way. To that end Joomla offers the Media Manager. It allows you to create new files, upload or delete images directly from your browser; no need to use FTP software.

<p>The fact that <strong>Joomla is open source</strong> is a great advantage compared to other CMS&#8217;s. Being very easy to install and configure, new users can have their own site in a matter of minutes. At the same time, Joomla is <strong>highly configurable</strong>, the advanced users having the possibility to make lots of changes. As the user grows more and more familiar with Joomla, they will discover a great number of integrated options to customize their CMS.</p>
<p>It is very important for a blogger to have the possibility of <strong>manipulating images</strong> the easy way. To that end Joomla offers the <strong>Media Manage</strong>r. It allows you to create new files, upload or delete images directly from your browser; no need to use FTP software.</p>
<p>Bloggers need to easily <strong>write and edit articles</strong>. Joomla comes forward and solves this problem too with a powerful integrated text editor. It offers everything that you need to write, edit or format an article. Additionally, if you wish, there are plenty of 3rd party editors which can be added to the CMS.</p>
<p>M<strong>anagement of pages, categories and sections</strong> can be a very important issue in blogging. Joomla is getting very popular for its easy way of managing the content.</p>
<p><strong>Polls, RSS and web links</strong> are some other useful tools for a blogger. Even if these options are not very complex in Joomla, they are enough for a blogger&#8217;s needs.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Because of its responsiveness, Ajax technology is being adopted by all sorts of web sites -- and WordPress is no exception. Currently, the core of WordPress uses Ajax only in the administration screens. For instance, Ajax is used for instant updates when you are doing comment moderation, and when you are adding and deleting items from lists such as categories, blogroll, and posts; Ajax is also the technology behind the auto-save functionality on post and page editing screens.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Because of its responsiveness, Ajax technology is being adopted by all sorts of web sites &#8212; and WordPress is no exception. Currently, the core of WordPress uses Ajax only in the administration screens. For instance, Ajax is used for instant updates when you are doing comment moderation, and when you are adding and deleting items from lists such as categories, blogroll, and posts; Ajax is also the technology behind the auto-save functionality on post and page editing screens.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Step 1: Defining your business goals. The first step in this process is to clearly understand what the goals are for investing your time and money into this project. What practical results do you want to achieve with this initiative and who else will be involved in the process of achieving these goals. Very much like starting any new business you want a clear understanding of your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.

Step 2: Defining your Project Plan. Once you have a clear idea where you are going you need to develop a strategic plan for getting there. Project plans need to consider where you want to go both short term and long term with this project. It needs to have a focused and phased approach that takes into consideration your available time and resources over time to sustain this project. It needs a timeline and content acquisition checklists that will help you stay on target and on focus with your priorities.

Step 3: Defining the Look and Feel. The first actual development tasks with your Joomla Project are to define your Joomla Website design and choose your template or process of implementing one. There are three key parts of a template you need to consider. 1. Graphical design elements: Colors and style 2. Layout options: Wireframes or in Joomla terms Module Positions 3. Features and Functionality: Standards compliance, special modules and capabilities. It is important to realize that the Joomla template is a foundation for which you will build your site and you need to consider this decision carefully. However, you can easily change templates in the future with often little effort.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Step 1: Defining your business goals</strong>. The first step in this process is to clearly understand what the goals are for investing your time and money into this project. What practical results do you want to achieve with this initiative and who else will be involved in the process of achieving these goals. Very much like starting any new business you want a clear understanding of your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2: Defining your Project Plan.</strong> Once you have a clear idea where you are going you need to develop a strategic plan for getting there. Project plans need to consider where you want to go both short term and long term with this project. It needs to have a focused and phased approach that takes into consideration your available time and resources over time to sustain this project. It needs a timeline and content acquisition checklists that will help you stay on target and on focus with your priorities.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3: Defining the Look and Feel.</strong> The first actual development tasks with your Joomla Project are to define your Joomla Website design and choose your template or process of implementing one. There are three key parts of a template you need to consider. 1. Graphical design elements: Colors and style 2. Layout options: Wireframes or in Joomla terms Module Positions 3. Features and Functionality: Standards compliance, special modules and capabilities. It is important to realize that the Joomla template is a foundation for which you will build your site and you need to consider this decision carefully. However, you can easily change templates in the future with often little effort.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4: Defining Content and Navigation.</strong> Now that you know how you want your Joomla web site to unfold, both from a design perspective and from a roadmap ahead you can start mapping out the intended content and collecting any graphics or generating articles. Typically you will want to bring every page of content into an offline document that can be edited prior to inserting into your new site. Sometimes if this is a site redesign you can cut and paste from an existing site. If you plan to get the most out of search engine optimization you will want to get targeted keywords generated and pass these on to your authors for consideration in developing the copy. Now is a good time to think about the Sections and categories for which you will organize your content and how you want your users to navigate with the best possible user experience. It is a good idea to use a mind mapping tool to define your site navigation. <strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 5: Features and Functionality.</strong> With a clear understanding of the content you want to present and manage, you will have a better idea of the types of Joomla Extensions that you will need to implement this. With over 4000 extensions and the list is growing every day, you may need to make lists of the options, compare the features and review the demos and reviews before installing them on your site. Once you have narrow this down you can then test them on your new site once you get it installed. Sometimes you may find that there are not existing components that provide the features or functionality that you need. This will require creating a development spec that clearly itemizes the features you want to add to an existing extension or for building a custom extension for your site. It is a good idea to get this sorted out early in your development process.</p>
<p><strong>Step 6: Installation and Configuration.</strong> Once we have all of our objectives, a defined roadmap, site plan and specific template in hand we can begin the installation and configuration process. Some ISPs have automated tools for installing Joomla but I prefer to get the latest release directly from the Joomla.org site and to install it manually. Once Joomla is installed we go through a process of configuring this specific for your needs. Installing extensions, installing the template and setting up the parameters, once you get the baseline of your site configured with all of the components, modules and plug-ins and perhaps a couple place holder content articles and menu items it is a good idea to make a back up copy of this and there are inexpensive extensions that can automatically do this for you.</p>
<p><strong>Step 7: Populate your Joomla web site with content.</strong> Having a good baseline for your framework in place and backed up prior to beginning to populate content and fine tuning the configurations helps you move quickly and safely through the content population stage in your project. This is the point where we provide training or you would go through tutorials on content management techniques. Once you get this underway most of the outcome is in your hands. With a good support team that is well rounded in both strategy, branding and marketing expertise as well as the technical support and programming expertise you can increase your effectiveness through a collaborative <strong>Joomla Website development</strong> approach. We highly recommend that you work with a qualified team to guide you through this process. In the end it will give you a much more professional web site, better train your team and give you the technical support to get the very best value out of your investment.</p>
<p><strong>Moving Forward:</strong> Joomla CMS is a superior choice for growing a solid business online. There are endless extensible possibilities and freedom to expand this as a platform for success. There are many other steps you can take to optimize your content and leverage more in-depth capabilities of the Joomla framework over time but this should get you an overview of the initial steps for getting started. With a good strategic and tactical plan you can keep your focus. In a world fill with exciting possibilities it is very important not to lose sight of your intended business results. Regardless of your web expertise, choosing a qualified support team to help you build, launch maintain your project will give you the very best return on your time and capital investment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>CroftGateUSA</strong> offers a high performance eco responsible range of waterless car wash and car detailing products alongside the already popular range of low water wash and waxes, leather cleaners, compounds and polishes and many other award winning products.</p>
<p>They were looking to enhance the look of their current website for a better user experience and looking to achieve practical results with this. Very much like starting any new business. We have gone through the requirements and got a clear understanding of the new features they wanted to introduce.</p>
<p>Once finalized, Project managers at Digital Intersect developed a strategic plan for getting there to go both short term and long term with this project. Through SRS documents and project discussions, we decided on a focused and phased approach with timeline and content acquisition checklists and clearly itemize the features they wanted to add to an existing extension or for building a custom extension for the website. After a successful quality test at the staging server, we have made the site live at http://www.croftgateusa.com</p>
