Joomla Resources:
I have been using Joomla as a CMS for many of my clients websites as well as my own websites. Through the years I have found better ways of doing things as well as fixes to correct issues that have came up using Joomla. This blog post will be an ongoing process. I will continue to update this blog post as I gather more useful resources for Joomla. Feel free to bookmark this post or add it to your Del.icio.us account so you can access it to check for updates.
