I'm planning to use joomla with custom template for my new site, My basic aim is to have three common places for my site, discussion forum, article directory and link directory.<br /><br />I just want to know that is this a good idea to host joomla for this purpose?<!--content-->
I have seen several really nice sites that utilize Joomla. I am a writer and marketing professional and do not do my own designs. A web designer just created a site that is pretty easy to use and navigate with Joomla.<!--content-->
Haven't heard much about Joomla. Is there advertisements that I don't see, or is it just not that popular?<!--content-->
I think you miss the chance to check popular CMS discussions, they are full of joomla. try <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.joomla.com">www.joomla.com</a><!-- w --> or DP forums.<!--content-->
Joomla templates are becoming popular day by day. The choice of web developers all over the world...<!--content-->
