Upgrading Joomla! 1.7.3 to 2.5.0
If you've been following my Twitter, Facebook or Google+ updates this afternoon, you would have noticed I embarked on a mission to upgrade Joomla! 1.7.3 to 2.5.0.
All in all the upgrade process went pretty smoothly, initially I had only planned on upgrading a couple of sites which had few extensions installed, due to some issues I had with various extensions while testing 2.5beta1, 2.5beta2 and 2.5RC1.
Joomla and J Admin Mobile
As some may be aware, I recently migrated my websites from Wordpress to Joomla. This transition has gone extremely well over all.
I found myself lacking one thing though, the ability to manage the sites and post content (in a draft form) from my mobile devices.
Well, that problem has been solved with J Admin Mobile for Android.
Podcasting with Joomla
Recently I began playing around with Joomla as I was trying to sort out an upgrade path from Joomla 1.5 to 1.7 for someone. After a few hours of playing with Joomla 1.7 (I actually didn't like 1.5 that much) I quickly began liking the abilities of Joomla.
I installed a clean install on a test server and began configuring one of my sites, which ran Wordpress. While I still love and highly recommend Wordpress for its ease of use, Joomla became increasingly desirable for my own requirements.
