Re: Joomla Now Has A GetResponse Module - Hi guys, I just wanted to give my 2 cents on this subject as I am a Joomla enthusiast. I have 3 different Joomla sites and they all perform great, although they sometimes load a bit slowly. My main site went up drastically in the search engines after I converted it to Joomla. About the GetResponse module: Unfortunately, it's only compatible with Joomla 1.0, so for anyone like me who has the latest version, I doesn't work. Have a great day, everyone!
Joomla Knowledge - Hi ImpactAthlete How did you teach yourself on customizing Joomla? Was it trial and error or did you use books or a class? I've tried using Joomla but I'd say it would take me days to customise a Joomla website, maybe I should just give it ago! Thanks!
Even more profile options - Thanks for the suggestions guys - I've now added: - Favorite Business Quote - What I Do - Favorite Hobby Looking forward to seeing your responses!

Re: Joomla Now Has A GetResponse Module - After reading the posts, I've come to two conclusions. Some people like Joomla, others don't. My question is, is there a good alternative to Joomla? I don't mean Wordpress, either. I've been considering starting a new site and would like to have content management as it's less of a hassle. My first thought was to use Joomla. Now I'm not so sure. I could probably make it work, though. A GetResponse module would be good for me, however, since I do use them. Are there any alternatives? Thanks! Alan
