We are excited to be here at the CMS Expo 2012 in Evanston IL just north of Chicago. This expo we will be sharing a booth with our parent company 'corePHP' making some exciting announcements. Booth opens 5:30 CT tonight Tuesday May 8, 2012. We are here at our booth to answer any of your questions, share ideas, also give amazing deals to the Joomla community and so much. Make sure if you are here to stop on by and say "HI". But if you are not do not see this as a deterrent. Please leave your questions, ideas and more here on our blog. More amazing stuff coming from the JoomlaPraise team!

Hey Everyone,

Just the other day I got a call from a client. Right in the middle of the conversation he asked me, point-blank, "You seem to really like your job. Why is that?"
This got me thinking. What really motivates ‘corePHP’/JoomlaPraise to do what we do? Our work is not easy and often times it’s challenging and difficult. But we do love it and wouldn’t want it any other way. Let me explain why.
Today we released Softpraise 2.5.1 which is a minor update that fixes the following:
- Fixed an issue with K2 pages not scrolling on some sites. This was from one of the body class tags outputting as .item which conflicted with another class on the page. This was solved by adding prefixes to all body classes to ensure uniqueness.
- Removed an experimental style for modals in the responsive stylesheet.
We also reuploaded Genesis 2.5 after fixing a couple install issues. In addition, we added the header from the demo into the placeholder for the banner so everyone has the example of how it was done.
We'll have more templates upgraded to 2.5 soon!

How to embed YouTube videos that work with mobile
Written by Jonathan ShroyerIf you are like me, you may have thought that embedded YouTube videos automatically work with all mobile devices. Not true! YouTube uses Flash video streaming by default so anyone on an iPhone, iPad or iPod won't be able to view your videos. After some searching around the internet for a while, I came across a way to make embedded videos work everywhere.
We have received many enquiries about Joomla! 2.5 upgrades for our templates, so we figured it would be a good idea to tell you the roadmap we are planning and when you can start to expect these updated templates. You will be happy to know that most of the templates are around 80% completed. The most time consuming part of the other 20% is changing the CSS from Joomla! 1.5 to Joomla! 2.5, getting rid of any tables in the template layout and adding some basic features.
