(http://washington-dc-joomla.eventbrite.com/)A couple of weeks back, I announced that we'd be doing Joomla training classes across the United States (blog/alledia-news/joomla-training-across-the-united-states/) from Tampa in the south, New York up north and St. Louis and Denver in the midwest. You can find the full list on our Joomla Training website (http://www.joomlatraining.com/).
Each week until the classes I'm going to give you a brief introduction to each class, including the who, what, where, when and answers to other important questions.
Our first class, 7 weeks away now, is in the nation's capital. Here's what you need to know about the Joomla training class in Washington D.C.:

In one of a series of guest posts here on the Alledia blog, Brian Teeman who follows on from Kyle Ledbetter of Joomlapraise.com (http://joomlapraise.com/) who asked whether Joomla admin templates are worth the effort (blog/design/are-joomla-admin-templates-worthwhile?/).
Joomla is great and does everything I want (well it doesn't make my coffee but we can't have everything). But there are times when I just tear my hair out at the poor usability of the backend.

I try to avoid quoting other people's opinions and articles on this blog, but over the weekend I found a newspaper article about the interaction of search engines and the stock market (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/14/weekinreview/14arango.html?partner=rssnyt emc=rss) that was absolutely fascinating. It also seems like an appropriate topic with this week's events on Wall Street.
The article starts by talking about the use of computers in the market:
Automatic stock trading based on algorithms that react to market moves
and conditions have been a feature on Wall Street for years — nearly 50
percent of all trades on the New York Stock Exchange are expected to be
automated by 2010, according to the Aite Group, a Boston-based
consulting firm, up from roughly 30 percent in 2006.

Several weeks ago Joomla released a significant update, 1.5.6 for Joomla 1.5 due to a security issue. Last week there was a new release, 1.5.7 that was a more general update. There was 1 critical, 1 major and 2 moderate security vulnerabilities fixed in 1.5.7. For more information, visit the Security Center. [20080901] - Core - JRequest Variable Injection [20080904] - Core - Redirect Spam [20080903] - Core - com_mailto Spam [20080902] - Core - Random Number Generation Flaw [...]

Quite a few people have been asking lately about the benefits of using Google SiteSearch (http://www.google.com/sitesearch/).
In theory, it's great idea because people can use Google's own search engine to search your site without leaving it. There's even a slick module (http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,4066/Itemid,35/) that allows you do this easily on Joomla 1.5. This should produce more accurate results, right?
Wrong. Here's six reasons why you're better off using your own site search rather than relying on Google:

Not so long ago a previous update (blog/the-joomla-community/upgrade-to-joomla-1.5.6.html) was released for Joomla 1.5; I mentioned that updating your 1.5 site was pretty easy and well, its time to do it again. Joomla 1.5.7 was announced (http://www.joomla.org/announcements/release-news/5212-joomla-157-security-release-now-available.html) as a security update some days back and I thought I'd mention it in case you hadn't heard the news...
Note: its great to see how quickly reported issues with Joomla are being solved by the core team and everyone contributing to the project! With each release comes fixes as well as improvements to Joomla - expect an updated OpenID library, upgraded TinyMCE, better menu handling and more with Jooma 1.5.8

This is a guest blog post from Kyle Ledbetter of Joomlapraise.com
(http://joomlapraise.com/)
Over at JoomlaPraise we make Joomla templates and extensions scene and have recently released AdminPraise, an administrator template for Joomla 1.5 that falls somewhere between a template and extension.
However, the question we'd like to ask is ... do Joomla users want/need an alternate admin template? The admin template system is obviously in place for this reason, but no one really uses it. We've seen slight variations on the Khepri template, but that's about it.

This how-to came about from a question posed by an SEO Club member:
how I do move from Joomla 1.0 to 1.5 yet still keep all my /content/view/24/32 URLs?
I've talked with him before and explained that redirecting URLs to a new version is a disaster. My experience it brings a 30 to 50% drop in traffic, so keeping these old URLs was vital.
I did some digging around and found the Backlink plugin. This is a great little tool that is almost completely unknown. I found only around 10 Joomla forum posts (http://forum.joomla.org/search.php?keywords=backlink+plugin)and a single blog entry about it which has since disappeared from Joomla.org. Fortunately I was able to dig out the Google cache of Sam Moffatt's post (http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:ynLbVhj2AZQJ:community.joomla.org/core-team-blog/392-migration-so-what-is-this-backlink-thing-anyway.html+%22Migration:+So+what+is+this+backlink+thing+anyway%3F%22 hl=en ct=clnk cd=3 gl=us client=firefox-a) which helped me understand how it worked. It's really pretty simple, once you've migrated the content to 1.5:

Contributed by Hanh Brown of Investers Lounge Online One of the first questions business people ask is "do I need a website?" The answer to this is a resounding, yes. Absolutely. Even if you think your business is too small, too obscure, or something frivolous you don't think will or can be sold online, you are mistaken. Everything and anything can be sold over the Internet. There are 20+ million online shoppers these days, buying everything from computers to vide [...]
