When writing for the Web, writers should always keep one analogy in mind: the Internet is a jungle and Web users are information foragers within it. Usability expert Jakob Nielsen championed this comparison based on his studies that found that the majority of Internet users only scan websites in their quest to find useful information as quick as possible. According to Nielsen, the success of website writing depends primarily on conciseness, scan-ability and objectivity. But these aren’t the only guidelines to follow to make your writing successful on the web.

As most of you already know, Wordpress 3.0 has been released. Although it’s still in a beta release stage, you can take it for a test drive and check out the many new features that are available. Many people already use Wordpress for many things other than just blogging but this release will certainly create opportunities for managing content even more effortlessly than before and using Wordpress as more than just a blog.

Wordpress was first released in 2003 as a content management system intended for bloggers, and today is regarded as the most popular blogging software available. Wordpress is constantly being upgraded with great new features that make it possible to use it as a full website CMS instead of just a blogging platform. Many blogs and even large business sites are using Wordpress as their CMS: CNN, Wall Street Journal, Nikon, Pepsi, etc. No question about it, Wordpress 3.0 has extended the possibilities for creating a full website with a user-friendly CMS for clients.

The video and notes to Andrew Eddie's presentation to the Joomla User Group Brisbane (7 July 2009) on current state of Joomla 1.6 are now available.

Tienda is a complete ecommerce extension for Joomla. Tienda is not a fork or bridge; it is a brand new extension designed and written from scratch on Joomla's MVC framework and can therefore be easily modified or themed using Joomla's templates.

Tienda has been built with you, the site's administrator, in mind.  While building Tienda, we focused on answering the question, "What would make it easier for us to operate our online stores?"  Tienda is the result.

We have two versions available, Community and Enterprise.  They have different feature sets, so please take a look at the comparison chart below.

The Community version is free (as in beer).  The Enterprise version is available to support subscribers only.

We encourage you to download the Community version and participate in its development.  Please download it and then visit http://projects.dioscouri.com where you can participate by reporting bugs, making feature requests, submitting code, or even by simply following the development.
