Joomla! is a free open source framework and content publishing system designed for quick creating highly interactive multi-language Web sites, online communities, media portals, blogs and eCommerce applications.
Joomla! provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface that simplifies the management and publishing of large volumes of content including HTML, documents, and rich media. Joomla! is used by organisations of all sizes for Public Websites, Intranets and Extranets and is supported by a community of thousands of users.
Joomla! is an outstanding content management system and that is why many people choose to use it for building their websites. SiteGround is proud to host this particular Joomla installation and to provide the following resources, which facilitate the creation of Joomla! websites:
This allows file operations (such installing extensions or updating the main configuration) without having to make all the folders and files writeable. This makes the site admin's life a lot easier and increases security of the site
You can check the write status of relevent folders by going to ''Help->System Info" and then in the sub-menu to "Directory Permissions". With FTP even if all directories are red, Joomla! will operate smoothly.
NOTE: the FTP layer is not required on a Windows host.

To ensure this code release, Wilco Jansen resorted to sending rum to joint lead developer Johan Janssens. Johan, who's had a penchant for rum ever since the first Pirate's of the Caribbean movie screened, took the bait mixed it with Cola and here we are with our latest 1.5 release. It looks like pirate talk will figure quite a lot in future Joomla! development

This is now implemented by inserting a tag (button is in the editor area) a dotted line appears in the edited text showing the split location for the "Read more...". A new bot takes care of the rest.
It is worth mentioning that this does not have a negative effect on migrated data from older sites. The new implementation is fully backward compatible.
Joomla! Whether you want a brochure site or you're building a large online community, Joomla! allows you to deploy a site in minutes and add functionality as you need it. The hundreds of extensions will expand your site and allow you to deliver new services that expand your reach into the Intern.
