Written by Ryan Ozimek
I'm constantly traveling from one event to another, and many times I find myself in front of a crowd of government leaders and managers interested in using Joomla! within their agencies.

Written by Phil Taylor
A lot of customers old and new have been asking if they will still be able to create forms in Joomla 1.6 with Phil-a-form or bfForms. The answer is no :-( but yes :-) .
