We've all heard of killer copy. But what actually constitutes killer copy? To my way of thinking it should mean any copy that is succesful in its aim. But it's come to mean the sort of manipulative, emotive, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) copy that we see on those narrow, letter-like pages.

Does it work and if so, will it work for you?

It undoubtedly does work but it really depends on your audience. When I see that sort of copy, while I might be enticed into

There's been a lot of talk of the new ecommerce platform, Magento. I must say, it's one sexy platform. Without doubt, Magento will be the leader in open source commerce, if it isn't already. Packaged with all the bells and whistles, this SEO-ready platform has released it's first stable version with force.

Magento already has a substantial following. Without doubt, we'll start seeing the Magento template shops start popping onto the seen. Many Magento-Junkies come

Joomla 1.5.3 Released

Posted by: Chris Rault in joomla 1.5elswhere on

Joomla.org announced the release today of Joomla 1.5.3 literally a month since 1.5.2 was released. I like how the releases are consistently being released and how the dev team are setting realistic bite sized goals for each release. Keep up the great work guys!

"The Joomla! community is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Joomla! 1.5.3 [Vahi]. This release is earlier than scheduled in order to correct a database name validation error introduced in

 Have you ever struggled to find a font for a project? Tired of all your default fonts? Does your client want something really obscure?

We have all been to a website with a font we really liked, or really disliked. Sometimes it is really hard to find the one you want in a simple and effective way. I have found a site that makes it all easy.

 

Neatfonts.com is a great way to navigate around and find thousands of fonts. It has a slick ajaxy feature that lets you

Dear Mr. Architect:

Please design and build me a house. I am not quite sure of what I need, so you should use your discretion. My house should have somewhere between two and forty-five bedrooms. Just make sure the plans are such that the bedrooms can be easily added or deleted. When you bring the blueprints to me, I will make the final decision of what I want. Also, bring me the cost breakdown for each configuration so that I can arbitrarily pick one.

Keep in mind

Matt wrote an excellent post on time-saving tools for designing and developing your Joomla!.  He’s right, you can save substantial time by installing a local server environment. As well, these tools provide a great platform for learning. Since he’s the Mac pro, I thought it would be of use to include some handy Windows tools…

JSAS is a light-weight, reliable, and quick way to install all your necessary servers, databases, and Joomla! files.  This downloads

Good things come to those who wait..

Posted by: Chris Rault in news on

As many of you already know, we have desperately been searching for the right person to come on board here at JoomlaJunkie. Well, it seems that finding that *right person* was a bit harder than we had expected. That being said, good things come to those who wait - or in this case search high and low for.

I am extremely happy to welcome Matt King to the JoomlaJunkie team! We've been chatting to a number of different people, all with varied talents, but in the end

localhost developingDevelop your Joomla site on your own network.  You will be amazed how much faster you will get things done.  

 

I am pretty stubborn sometimes.  When I am creating a new Joomla site I will typically upload it to my webspace and edit things around to my liking.  I have to wait on the  occasional page refresh and FTP up and down constantly.  Recently I tried out some of the more popular standalone server programs and was really impressed with how far they came along.

OK, we all love JoomlaJunkie templates because they're cool and inexpensive and easy-to-use. Which means we're probably going to "DOOS" - Do Our Own Sites. That's fine and many small businesses can't afford to do otherwise but a word of caution - don't show your friends.

Why not? Because their opinion means nothing. Most times, friends and family do not match part of your target audience. How they react to it is meaningless. Show your customers; in fact if you can
