  • Test Article for 1.5

    This is a test of the 1.5 url rerouting with sh404sef. This is the first test with the new Joomla 1.5 content editor from the front-end of the website. I’ve had to fix quite a few things and migrate to some new components, but it really hasn’t been that bad. The biggest issue was that…

  • Joomla Migration Plan

    I’ve finally decided to start working on a Joomla 1.5 migration plan. The main thing that has been holding me back is my search engine optimized URLs from Joomla 1.0.15 which are being generated using OpenSEF. Being that OpenSEF is no longer supported, there is not a Joomla 1.5 compatible version of the plugin. At…

  • Set Joomla Publishing Defaults

    I got tired of having to click through the tabs in Joomla 1.0.x to change my publishing state from unpublished to published and check the show on frontpage item everytime I posted a new article. That being said, I did a little research and figured out how to change the default settings. It requires you…

  • VPS to Shared

    If you are seeing this message, then you are now seeing my website served up through my new webhost, HostMonster.  I decided to switch from a VPS back to simple shared hosting.  I realized that it didn’t really make sense for me to have my own server as I wasn’t really taking advantage of it.…

    Upgrading from Joomla 1.5RC4 to Stable (Production) was a breeze. There was no need to make changes to database structure or anything. Simply download the full stable release, upload to my server, and overwrite the files. Here’s how I did it from the shell. Navigate to the proper directory: $ cd /mysite/ Download (wget) the…

  • Blogg-X No Keywords

    I just realized that the new Blogg-X component I’m using doesn’t have a keywords area in it. If I could find a good way to automatically have these fields generated this component would really work great for me. The SEO tool I’m using has an option to mass generate keywords for articles, but it doesnt…

  • Up To Date Blogging

    I’ve been really bad about keeping my blog up to date lately. I’m not sure exactly what it is that keeps me from updating my site, but I feel like I don’t do it as much as I should. Even if I just kept my blog posts short, it would be better short than nothing.

  • Joomla SEO on 1and1

    I had some issues using the first set of instructions I found for setting up Search Engine Optimization (SEO) on my 1and1 account.  I had renamed the htaccess.txt to .htaccess and made some small changes, but I was still having issues.  The information below got me up and going. Setting up .htaccess file Rename the…

  • Gallery2 Joomla Bridge – Search

    In case you haven't read my other posts about search engine optimization, I've been on an SEO kick lately.  I've renamed all my images in the photo gallery so they all have some context now.  Google indexes galleries, but the next step was to be able to search the images from within my own site. …
