We've been working hard on a new Joomla! 1.5 administrator template.  There's so much power in a Joomla! site, it's hard to make navigation "easy" and the default Khepri template is extremely good, but confusing for beginners.  We've taken customer ... [More] and personal feedback into consideration in our totally unique approach.  Here's a rundown of the feature set so far: All New Control Panel featuring accordion div and all new icons Mini Control Panel on all subpages with mini icons More Relevant grouping of icons in Control Panel and Mini Control Panel Left Administrator Accordion Navigation (as opposed to cumbersome dropdown menu) Collapsible left and right columns for smaller monitors and phones Administrator Site-wide Search Quicklinks to System Info, File Manager and Admin Template Parameters Template queries which File Manager (joomlaXplorer, ninjaXplorer, etc.) link to use New Components List page (reminiscent of "More Components..." from Joomla! 1.0.x) Logo link to your user account page Quickly replace Admin logo Updated version of Joomla! accordion to allow multiple open accordions Slick new interface styling (from an obvious fruit phone inspiration) This list keeps getting longer the more we test the template and we want to make sure this baby is as bug free as possible, so we're hoping for a release by next Friday.

For anyone concerned with their search engine efforts (which should be everyone), we've recently done a custom Joomla template for a new site that has built some great technology on Joomla 1.5, SearchPageRankings.com.  SPR (as we call them) offers a ... [More] very cool free feature in which you get Google search results instantly, as you type your keywords (you must enter you domain name first of course).  This is a nice way to check mulitple variations of keywords by simply backspacing and typing more words, inspired by another great site InstantDomainSearch.com, which shows you domain availability as you type.  The search results are more human friendly than Google, because the results are numbered and your domain will show up in a different color. SPR's instant domain search is just the tip of the iceberg though.  If you create an account, you can rank 3 keyword phrases, and track those keywords over time.  This is extremely useful in tracking how you're doing with competing sites, as you can see which sites are moving up or down over time.  An even cooler feature is that you can have these results emailed to you in intervals that you define.  Here's a tour of their features. There are subscription packages for 5-20 keywords, and you can choose to pay monthly or yearly for a discounted rate. Here's a couple of shots of the instant search and keyword history: [Less]

AudioPraise (formerly titled SoundPraise) is now available for download!  AudioPraise is a bold, high-impact template.  The coolest feature is a vertical blog layout for Frontpage Slideshow.  Traditionally FPSS is used to display rotating banner ... [More] images, and it does a great job, but we wanted to use multiple articles with background images in AudioPraise, so we basically stripped out the CSS and JavaScript FPSS uses to rotate the banners.  So basically, the only feature of FPSS that would be used is the admin,  because it makes it so easy for users to upload images and add new banners. Of course, AudioPraise has lots of design and template features as well.  AudioPraise comes packaged with 3 great themes, each of which featuring 3 module styles and unique iconography.  Here's the list of features and parameters: 3 Color Themes each with 3 Module Styles and Iconography A Totally New and Unique Frontpage Slideshow Style Custom Background Color Custom Header Color Custom Font Color Custom Link Color Custom Link Hover Color Options Download Demo Tutorials [Less]
