Joomla 2.5 Beta to be released December 20th 2011
On November 30th, 2011, Jean Marie Simonet wrote on the Joomla community blog:
“We plan to release Version 2.5 beta on or before December 20th.”
The upcoming non-beta release is scheduled to be released in January of 2012, but it looks like Joomla addicts will be able to get a taste of the new 2.5 version of the popular CMS.
The new features have not been announced, but Jean writes:
“To make this schedule, we have until December 12th to propose and test new features. “
Does this mean the developers are keeping a lid on the new enhancements (other than improved search) because they are not ready? Or are they not exactly sure what addition will be made? Either way, hopefully the Joomla developer team can meet their deadline so all of us Joomla enthusiasts can see for ourselves what all the fuss is about.
Think you’re ready for Joomla 2.5? Make sure you’re prepared!

Hosting a Video on a WordPress Site which will be Compatible with iPad and iPhone Devices
A lot of people use Youtube to play videos, but every so often KMH Kreations encounters a client that wants to host and embed a video on their WordPress website, and not share the video on Youtube. There are many different video players out there that will play on most browsers, but use Flash as a player and therefore alienate iOS users from being able to see the video. With mobile phones growing in popularity as web devices, Flash players will not do.
Eventually HTML5 hopefully will replace Flash in everything including browser video playback, but for now, this tutorial will help WordPress website owners in the meantime. Continue reading
WordPress Permalink: How to Change the Title Attribute
Performing SEO on a WordPress powered website is not without its complications. Dynamically generated content is great for easy publishing while maintaining uniformity, but when it comes to SEO each page should be optimized separately, which can be difficult.
There are a lot of SEO WordPress plug-ins that will make it easy to configure almost everything required to perform the onsite tasks for SEO, but one thing that seems to be left by the wayside is the ability to modify the “title” attribute from “Permanent Link to (page title)” to something more optimized for your website.

Preparing for Joomla! 2.5 – Coming January 2012
The votes are in! As of August 09, 2011, the Joomla! community voted the next version number to be 2.5, instead of 1.8. Calling the January 2012 release of Joomla! version 1.8 would have continued on after the currently available 1.6 and 1.7 releases, but the x.5 (meaning long term release) won out in the end.
With January coming fast, the big question that are making companies and their webmasters nervous is whether or not they need to upgrade their current installation to the latest Joomla! version. In a previous article titled “What’s New in Joomla! 1.7 And Should You Upgrade” I discussed why you should or should not upgrade to Joomla! 1.7, and found the answer to be: yes. However, there are some things to consider before upgrading to Joomla! 2.5 in January. Continue reading
