As previously mentioned, Joomla 1.6 reaches end-of-life today. That means there will be no security patches or other changes to the 1.6.x branch of the code.
The good news is that upgrading to Joomla 1.7 is pretty straight-forward.

The Joomla team has now released Joomla 1.7.0 stable. This version includes many fixes and improvements over the 1.6 version.
Most notable, however, is the fact that you can upgrade from the latest version (1.6.5) from inside the Joomla administrator. No more FTP upload of files!
This might seem like a simple thing to do, but it has taken some time to get this right.

For years, people have been asking for real remote blogging support for Joomla.
Remote blogging, or remote publishing, is when you use a desktop software package (Windows Live Writer) or plug-in (like ScribeFire for Firefox) to create and edit your posts.
When you're done, you add the post to the Joomla web site directly, without even logging in to the Joomla administrator.

Yesterday, my first ever article was published on the great Smashing Magazine web site. Smashing Magazine is an online publication about design, coding and all things related to web development.
My article was published on the coding.smashingmagazine.com sub site, which contains hands-on tips and tutorials on coding, server setup etc.
The article is called How to modify a default Joomla 1.5 template. In the post, I describe in detail how to take the JA Purity template of Joomla 1.5 and modify the header, logo and other elements.
The purpose of the post is primarily to teach users how to modify a template. How to discover where settings are hidden and what CSS and code to change.
