Extreme Makeover Joomla Day Austin Edition
Written by Kyle Ledbetter
Joomla Day Austin is right around the corner, held on September 15th in Austin, Texas. JDay Austin will be unique for several reasons such as being held in a historic Austin movie theater located in downtown Austin and using an entirely different presentation method. The most important difference is that the team of speakers is currently constructing a new Joomla website for an Austin Non-profit, Minis and Friends.

Written by Jean Marie Simonet
Tešanj (pronounce 'Teshagn') is a small ancient town in the North of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a now independant country that was once part of what was Yugoslavia.

In some of our recent Joomla templates like Newscycle and as far back as Rasa, you may have noticed that we implemented some subline styling ion the menu items. A design element that has gained a fair amount of attention and use from the design community in the last 12 months or so. Up until now we have relied on a small modification to the awesome bbcode plugin from YV to do the heavy lifting.

Sneak peak at our September Joomla template
Written by Anthony Olsen
Our September Joomla template release is shaping up to be a bit of a departure from some our recent offerings. We have been playing with this jQuery full screen slideshow plugin and in a word it is simply beautiful to work with. The way it is shaping up it is going to be a killer photographer's folio / blog template with some pretty extraordinary features for getting your work out there.
