I've have moved GoodWebPractices.com to hosting with VPS.net! Find out why...

Choosing a web host is never easy. I created GoodWebPractices in 2007 and over the past 3 years I have changed website host a number of times. In today’s blog post, I will be discussing why I have had to change hosts, and what some of the advantages and drawbacks of choosing a shared hosting provider like HostMonster and MediaTemple over more expensive hosts like VPS.net cloud hosting.

I was recently given the opportunity to chat with Kyle Ledbetter in another great Twitter Interview about his latest creation for Joomla Administrator Templates, AdminPad for the iPad. You may remember Kyle from other Joomla news that we have written about here, including the original Joomla Administrator Template, AdminPraise, and a great extension, PraisePositions.

As with the last twinterview with Andrew Eddie, I have copied the transcript below for those who were not able to follow along live. If you are interested in following other Developer Interviews (with both Joomla and Palm webOS Developers), you can follow me at @twintrview or at the hashtag #twtv.

If you have been following all of the latest Joomla news on Twitter, you may have recently seen my Interview with Andrew Eddie about the upcoming release of Joomla 1.6 Beta. If you didnt get a chance to see it, I have copied all of the transcript here to Good Web Practices for your viewing pleasure.

If you liked the way that this interview went, you can follow me for more Joomla and Palm webOS Developer Interviews at @twintrview or #twtv.

We have recently had contact with Steven Johnson at Intown Web Design.

Steven has rebuilt his iPhone Speaker Reviews website, so we thought we would take a look at how hes done it...

The website was created with Joomla and optimised using a number of extensions. Steven heavily customised the Alledia Bolt Template to create a unique template for the site.

We have had a few articles written about the AdminPraise template by JoomlaPraise, and at last the team has done it again by releasing J! Admin Mobile (JAM) and J! Admin Mobile Lite (JAM Lite) for the iPhone. With these two apps you can use your iPhone or iPod Touch device to manage your Joomla websites.

While it may be a bit difficult to pay $10 to use JAM on your device, there is no excuse to not try out the free (but ad supported) JAM Lite asap. I am excited to be able to try it out on my iPod Touch soon, and also interested in reading what some of you think about the new Lite version.

Check out the feature list on the download page at CovertApps, and the come back here to tell us what you thought.

Windows! Windows Live Writer? You might be surprised to find us recommending a Microsoft product, but Windows Live Writer is brilliant desktop blogging application that is amazingly simple to use and outputs surprisingly clean code.

In todays post we will be explaining how to setup Windows Live Writer with your Joomla website by using the MovableType XML-RPC plugin.

We wanted to share with you the news that Greenobile.com has officially launched today.

Looking at the Greenobile site, it will probably come as a surprise to learn that Greenobile is powered by the Joomla content management system.

The site shows what can be achieved with Joomla when a good Joomla developer puts in a lot of hours to build something truly unique!

It looks like NinjaTheme are doing things differently by running a competition to get people to design templates, with the winning entry being developed into a Joomla template and released to the Joomla community...

To do this, NinjaTheme have received sponsorship to develop a user generated travel related theme from Mauritius Connection and Caribbean Connection.

Over the past couple of weeks, I've been 'getting into' Twitter.

I signed up for a Twitter account over 6 month and initially  thought Twitter was a waste of time! But I recently gave it another try and have started to enjoy Twitter because  I've found people on Twitter who share similar interests that I do.

So, today I'm going to share with you a list of over 30 Joomla users, developers and bloggers who are on Twitter!

For those of you who might have missed it, Google Friend Connect is now out of beta, so you can sign up and add it your websites.

Google Friend Connect is a service that enables you to add community features like blog comments and product reviews to your website quickly and easily.

The good news for Joomla users is that Google Friend Connect can be easily integrated within Joomla and there are already a number Joomla websites using it.
