If you have an HTML based website or blog and want to get a more distinctive and original look you should upgrade to Joomla. Maybe the site that you are using currently is limited in the features that you can use. This is not the case with Joomla. This is a content management systems website that will give your site a professional image. Who is the best candidate for this type of website? Anyone that needs a competitive edge over their competitors should consider it. There are many reasons to check it out.

Open source software

Joomla is an open source software system. This means that not only is it free to use and design, it is constantly being updated. Once these new features are in place they can be put to use by your website. Any bugs or problems will be corrected and any requests for additional features will be created. You can create the site yourself. If you need your site completed right away it can always be outsourced for a nominal fee. Just make sure that you can see examples from some of their previous work to get an idea of what type of work they’ve done.

Professional look

If you look at the sites created for major corporations you will see that they use Joomla. If it is good enough for million dollar businesses surely, it will enhance the quality of your website. Many of the other systems don’t appear to be for business use. There are many cases where a basic site will look terrible and cause you to lose customers. There are so many templates that are available to enhance your site. The purpose for your website is to get marketing presence and sales for your business. Upgrading to Joomla will accomplish that purpose.

Features

Most websites have basic features without a lot of pizzazz. With this system you can create just about anything. If you want a forum, blog, members only site, or poll created there is a plug in component that will do this. You can even integrate the latest social media outlets like Facebook to your site.

International presence

As your business grows, you’ll want to get an international presence. Joomla supports international languages with their CMS system. You could possibly have more traffic to your site with this benefit alone.

If you are ready to take your site to the next level and join the big boys’ club you should upgrade to a joomla cms website. The various features and components that come with it make it crazy not to. If you are adventurous you could easily find free tutorials and videos that will show you exactly what you need to do to create your site. The many templates that you can use will allow your site to have a professional image and bring visitors to your site. You can easily get support from the Joomla website forum that will help you with any setup or installation questions.

I got my first computer in 1982 – an IBM PC 8088 (no dash-2), 64k of SOLDERED system memory, 2 full height floppy drives, a green screen with no graphics, and an 80cps Epson printer, with Graftrax…woo hoo!

I was guilted into starting my first BBS (bulletin board system) by my son, who had started his own, known as Druid’s Keep…a dos-based role playing game board. Mine had to be bigger of course, and ultimately sported 3 gigabytes of files, multiple CD drives, including CD-changers, all on a 3-node Lantastic network, running Wildcat Multiuser BBS. Wow

Fast forward a few years, and I needed software to go into the dialup ISP business. I prowled around, did not like the cost of what I saw (never mind the technical savvy required) and settled on Worldgroup, the newly named successor to The Major BBS, which had a powerful plugin available called Major TCP/IP, making it Internet dial-in-enabled, incoming telnet, ftp-able, etc. In addition, it supported Radius, so I could plug in my beloved Livingston portmasters…the year was 1995.

A few years (and several business changes and IT providers) later, I began testing out a new form of community software known as ecobuilder (e community builder)…unfortunately written in cold fusion. Running on Microsoft NT servers with SQL7, and requiring the cold fusion server, it never really took off. So I poked around and joined a merry band of miscreants who had shown the inventor of php-nuke the door and branched – into Postnuke, a CMS that, along with phpnuke, was largely responsible for the widespread acceptance and depth of features evident in the modern CMS’ we enjoy today. If you would like to see what some of the original cast of characters from Postnuke are doing these days, check out – Xaraya – it is not for the CMS newcomer, but what a powerhouse.

I have now moved on from Postnuke, and, contrary to half-hearted attempts over a year ago with the platform, am happy to report that the relatively young open-source fork project of Joomla – a breakaway from an older CMS known as Mambo, has a developer community literally on drugs, churning out high-value components, add-ons and themes, SEF (search engine friendly) URLs, and most important of all: MARKETING CAPABILITIES!

When choosing a platform on which to blog, I kept going back and forth between the towering open source giant in the industry: WordPress and the increasingly robust, though more complex true CMS – Joomla, before determining that it did not make any sense to pick between the two when I could use BOTH! Since then, I am finding all sorts of platforms doing the same thing – sticking with their old tried and true, and simply adding their WordPress blog to their Internet presence. The best of both worlds.

Have you seen the claims made by bloggers about earning up to 5 figures per month with blogging? Others may have mediocre results like $1,000 or $300 per month. Having tried making money with AdSense using the WordPress AdSense System myself, I finally understand the whole process of this system. People achieve radically different results because of the amount of time put in and experience the have.

1. My Own Experience with the WordPress AdSense System

I purchased this system about 1 year ago. It does require some work from you to setup at first, and you probably need to spend 3 to 4 hours a day implementing the techniques. About 4 months into using the system, I was able to earn at least US$3,000 per month in profits as I build up more and more passive income blogs.

2. How Does The WordPress AdSense System Work?

Users will learn how to setup many WordPress money making blogs in the fastest way possible. The author, Gobala Krishnan, promises that his methods will make anyone their first AdSense dollar within 7 days of implementing the system. I personally saw my first AdSense money after just 4 days. The best part is that once you setup these blogs, you can earn residual income from them as long as you can maintain the same amount of traffic.

So if you can setup a blog that earns you near passive $5 a day, you simply make more and more blogs across various popular niches. Sure it takes some hard work up front, but when you achieve the end result of earning 4 figures monthly at almost complete autopilot, it will be well worth it.

3. Conclusion

Most of the tools to work the WordPress AdSense System are free, and in fact Gobala has included most of them on his download page. Once you get this system, there is really no reason you can fail to make money when you follow the steps properly.

The Nintendo DSi is upon us, and the video gaming world is in a state of absolute frenzy once again.Nintendo’s newest portable gaming superstar is a stark improvement over its predecessors, the Nintendo DS and the Nintendo DS Lite. Possessing of a smaller, sleeker body (3mm thinner than the DS Lite), the Nintendo DSi also boasts of the following exclusive features:

-Dual cam for a variety of applications;
-External memory storage for the new data formats the DSi can read and process;
-Better audio capabilities. The music-playing feature of the DSi can now rival the best MP3 players in the market today;
-Extra level of brightness added to the dual screen display;
-A more powerful processing engine, composed of 16MB RAM compared to the mere 4MB of its predecessors. Truly, the Nintendo DSi is pretty nifty gaming machine.

But it doesn’t come cheap.

With an SRP of $180, many people – including avid gamers – are quite hesitant to buy the new Nintendo DSi. In this day and age of economic uncertainty when a global recession is threatening every facet of our lives, $180 becomes an even steeper amount.

Is the Nintendo DSi worth $180. Yes, it is.

But can people afford $180 these days? That is the pivotal question.

For enterprising folks, there are number of ways by which they can get a Nintendo DSi unit for free. Here are some of them:

1. Join online contests. Most gaming companies, Nintendo included, send console units to popular gaming websites. These gaming websites use the units for review purposes, but some of them would rather capitalize on the marketing mileage that the particular console’s popularity can provide. They sponsor contests – be it an electronic raffle, a creativity-based competition, and the likes – with the winner being awarded the console that the website received for free.

2. Earn easy cash online and buy a Nintendo DSi. There are many ways by which you can make a living on the World Wide Web. Look for a drop shipper and help sell its products in popular outlets like eBay.com and Yahoo Auctions. Create your own digital product and sell it over affiliate networks like ClickBank.com. Look for hot selling products and help promote the same for some amazing commission. Offer your services – be it writing, programming, or your time to fulfill menial tasks – for a fee. You’ll be surprised with the earning potentials that are possible on the internet. In due time, you’d have enough cash to buy a Nintendo DSi, among other things.

3. Join an online gaming store’s affiliate program. Refer customers to the said gaming store. As reward, you can be paid with cash or with store credits. Either way, if you earn enough, you can redeem them for a brand new Nintendo DSi.

As they always say, if there’s a will, there’s way. Don’t let the recession ruin your dreams of owning a Nintendo DSi. With hard work and a little luck, you can be playing the newest Fire Emblem game as soon as next week.
