Carbon Projectfork Theme Released!

kyle@joomlapraise.com (Kyle Ledbetter) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 18:09:22 +0000

We're very excited to announce the release of Carbon, an all new Projectfork theme.

Carbon is by far to most advanced and attractive Projectfork theme we've created. It completely transforms the appearance of Projectfork into a project manager application. We've worked hard on lots of small details like the appearance of buttons to make them feel more tactile and give feedback on hover and click.

Carbon's included in our Projectfork PowerPack which is becoming a better deal with each release. Speaking of releases, look forward to some Community Builder and JomSocial Projectfork plugins soon...

EventPraise Joomla! Event Template Released!

kyle@joomlapraise.com (Kyle Ledbetter) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 06:00:00 +0000

We're proud to announce the release of EventPraise!

EventPraise is the perfect template for a Joomla! based website featuring events. We've built on our experience in designing the new template for the CMS Expo, and brought that to you in EventPraise.

EventPraise was designed specifically, but not exclusively for the popular Joomla! extension Event Registration Pro from JoomlaShowroom. JoomlaShowroom consulted us and worked closely through development (so closely that we were sourced in assisting with their new site, which will feature a JoomlaPraise template).

EventPraise comes ready for your event with 3 energetic themes. 4 header background overlay images (trapezoid, squares, circles, and triangles) have been included for further variation.

Our Favorite Joomla! Extensions

kyle@joomlapraise.com (Kyle Ledbetter) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:00:25 +0000

We recently had the honor of speaking at the Austin JUG (Joomla! Users Group). Inevitably, when we open up to Q&A after any presentation, one of the first questions is "What Joomla! extensions do you install on every site?".

Here's the list of extension/templates/tools we use and recommend in no particular order.

New Projectfork extensions

tobias.kuhn@pixelpraise.com (Tobias Kuhn) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 17:00:16 +0000

Today I have 2 new extensions and 1 update ready for you. That's what I call a good start into a new week :)

Projectfork 2.1 stable released

tobias.kuhn@pixelpraise.com (Tobias Kuhn) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 21:23:23 +0000

Here is is! With tons of bugfixes, polishing and optimization, 2.1 stable is faster and cleaner than any previous version. Some of the major changes are listed in the changelog below. I highly recommend everyone to upgrade to this version. If you're still running Projectfork 2.0.x, read and follow this guide. If you're using any of the 2.1 RC's you'll find the update packages here and the update procedure is as usual.

iJoomla SEO Review

kyle@joomlapraise.com (Kyle Ledbetter) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:30:51 +0000

We've heard some very good remarks about iJoomla's latest version of iJoomla SEO at the virtual Joomla! watercooler (I'm coining that term now), so we were pumped to receive an evaluation copy for our site.

Awesome admin template!

gary@pixelpraise.com (Gary Gisclair) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 20:56:26 +0000

The Joomla! design battle ensues!

JoomlaPraise was approached by Azrul.com the makers of MyBlog, and JomComment to create a template using these components and extensions along with the banner ad extension from iJoomla called Ad Agency.

We're calling the template Potpourri as it's a harmonious blend of several Joomla! fragrances.

Praiseit - September's Blog/Portfolio Template

notjust@anotherguy.us (Tim Stiffler-Dean) — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 14:49:32 +0000

We've been up to a lot for the last month, but we're not stopping the momentum yet. Today we are excited to announce the new Praiseit Joomla! Blog & Portfolio template for September. This new template brings some of our best work from the past back to the front, as HTML and CSS overrides are used to remake the look of our PraiseFolio and PraiseSlides extensions. With three completely different and fresh takes on a new design, this template can be used for any number of project websites - including blogs, portfolios, company sites and a lot more.

JoomlaPraise Now Offers 3 Great Joomla! Plans

kyle@joomlapraise.com (Kyle Ledbetter) — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:12:00 +0000

We're very exciting to announce the arrival of 2 new plans to purchase our JP SuperBundle of Joomla! templates, extensions and coupons! In addition to our 12 month $99 plan, we've added a 3 month $49 plan and 6 month $69 plan. Each plan allows unlimited downloads and unlimited domain usage, which isn't common for Joomla! club subscriptions if you look around.

The strength of each plan breaks down as so: 3 month : Lowest Investment | 6 month : Most Popular | 12 month : Best Value. The 3 month plan is best for a moderate Joomla! user that has a couple of fairly simple Joomla! sites. The 6 month plan is the most popular since it's right down the middle in terms of new releases and continued support. The 12 month plan is the best value for Joomla! developers and those with many Joomla! sites, as it's the cheapest in the industry for 1 year of unlimited access to a club with such variation.

This means for as little as $49 you can now get instant access to 26 Joomla! templates (including 3 admin templates), 19 Joomla! extensions, and 13 coupons to other Joomla! services and products, along with new releases! This already crazy cheap price can be made cheaper with coupons such as the current 20% coupon (which will end soon): BeatTheHeat. If you aren't already enjoying these goodies, head on over to view the new pricing and purchase your plan!

Joomla turns 4 - What does that mean for us?

notjust@anotherguy.us (Tim Stiffler-Dean) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 00:33:59 +0000

First, let me start by saying "Happy Birthday, Joomla!" You've been a great friend to many of us and we can't know where we would be without you. It has been a long four years since you first donned your title way back in September of 2005, and we're all anxious to see what the next four years will look like. But, while many are pausing for a quick celebration and then continuing with their work, we here at JoomlaPraise wanted to ask a question:

What about the rest of us?
