Yannick Gaultier's extension sh404sef is a great way to make Joomla 1.5
more search engine friendly.
There are numerous on-page factors which search engines take into
account when indexing websites, we discussed these factors in our SEO on-site framework. If you are running Joomla 1.5 without any extensions you lack complete control over some of these factors.
In today's post we're going to discuss why we
think sh404sef is the most important extension
to install on Joomla 1.5. The first part of this article looks at the killer search engine optimisation features in sh404sef
and the second half is an interview with Yannick looking at his motivation behind developing sh404sef and the advantages of sh404sef's new feature of enabling table-less output in Joomla.

A few months on from our launch, GoodWebPractices.com
has come quite a long way. Last week we had over 2,300 visitors, we already have a page rank of 5 and most importantly we have been generating a steady stream of business leads.
As we all know, it's good to regularly evaluate how well a website is performing and what can be done to improve it...
We have decided it's time to change the layout of our frontpage and we would love to have your input as to what we should do.

In this tutorial we will discuss how to create a 'Lightbox' effect for your Joomla 1.0 or 1.5 website, using the plugin YOOeffects from the YOOtheme team. Using a Lightbox is a great way to show off your images on your website, as a slideshow or for individual pictures. Videos can also be shown using the Lightbox javascript - both from your own website or streamed from another site (such as YouTube).

Having attractive RSS feeds is really important. If your feed is dull and unattractive, you are unlikely to get many subscribers and the click-through rate from your subscribers runs the risk of being low.
The best way to have good looking RSS feeds in Joomla 1.0.1 is to use the DS-Syndicate component.
In this post we will talk briefly about why DS-Syndicate is great choice for creating RSS feeds in Joomla. We will then share with you how to solve two very irritating bugs in DS-Syndicate: (1) The component adding open and closed brackets (parentheses) to the feed title and (2) the component outputting the author's email address in the news feed.
