Just a quick update to say SEOSimple 2.1 has been released, and now has a Joomla 2.5 
version.
I’ve also added an option that allows you to define whether you wish your category description to be used as the category page’s meta description. Optionally, you can use the content of the top-most article in the category listing. If set to “category description”, and no category description is available, it will default to the top-most article’s content (which was what occurred …
After almost exactly two years of no updates, I’m quite happy to announce the release of SEOSimple 2.0 — now compatible with Joomla 1.6 
and Joomla 1.7 
as well as Joomla 1.5 
.
That’s not all — I’ve finally fixed a number of small bugs that have been growing dust on my todo list – including fixing the K2 compatibility issue and the occurrence of an “uninitialized strong offset” error.
I’ve also added a couple new features, namely an expanded …
At Dao By Design we build all our Web sites on Content Management Systems (CMS). This has become a no-brainer for our own workflow and productivity, as well as that of our clients. However, to help explain why we do this, and why you should too, this knowledgebase article will outline the differences between what is now the de facto method of Web site design and development, and the old page-by-page designs of years gone by.
A CMS is a …
I need first apologize for the length of time between updates. I have no excuse other than an insane work schedule. I, initially at least, was also trying to hold off releasing a new version until I had some significant bugs to fix or features to add. Perhaps it’s a testament to the simpleness of the plugin, but bugs are few and far between.
That said, an encoding bug has been the bane of the plugin’s existence and desperately needed …
Man, since I released SEOSimple v1.2 a few weeks ago I’ve learned a massive lesson – WAY too many people are still using servers that employ PHP4 – the php engine that was replaced with PHP5 four years ago.
For anyone that tried to use the plugin with PHP4, I’m sorry about breaking your site. Actually it’s an old PHP4 bug that broke your site, but I’ll apologize anyway. So sorry I sat my butt down and whipped together a …
Close on the heels of the release of v1.1 I’m releasing v1.2 of the SEOSimple Joomla 1.5 plugin.
I’ve just tweaked a few things to better support UTF-8 encoding, word wrapping of the descriptions and better handling of the Section and Category page descriptions.
Please report any problems you have either on the SEO Simple Support Forum, or in the comments on the SEOSimple home page.…
It is a testiment to my own foul forgetfulness that I am endlessly hunting the Joomla forums for the post that explains how to reset the admin password for Joomla.
Rather, it’s not that I can’t remember how to do it – doing it is quite simple – it’s I can’t remember the values to insert.
The only way to “reset” your Joomla password is by editing the database directly. Simply:

Well the big news in the open-source CMS community this week is the announcement that Joomla 1.5 is finally stable. It took 2.5 years to get it there, but the wait was well worth it.
Joomla, for those that don’t know, is an open-source Content Management System (CMS) used in the construction of dynamic, database driven Web sites. Through the separation of code from design elements, and design elements from content, Joomla (all CMS-based sites, really) allows for faster …
This is a quick and basic “how to” for anyone looking to add multi-language support to their content in Joomla 1.5. Eventually I imagine the folks over at the Joom!Fish project will get around to updating their excellent component, but until then anyone that’s in need of multi-lingual content using Joomla 1.5 is SOL.
My switch from the Joomla 1.0.x series to the new (and much improved) Joomla 1.5 series is still quite recent. I’m planning a post outlining the …
