Nadine was delighted to win our Twitter Re-Tweet competition!
At the end of last year we had a fantastic response to our Twitter Re-Tweet competition – the prize was a free place on any of our public training courses.
Our lucky winner was Nadine Burzler (@NadineBurzler) who works at Cactus Language Worldwide.
Nadine was delighted to win the competition and has chosen a free place on our 2-day Dreamweaver course as her prize. She also chose to extend this to come on the whole Web Design Week package, which includes our Web Design training and Web Graphics Photoshop Course.
When she told us why, we realised that there couldn’t have been a more worthy winner…

Joomla is growing in popularity as an out of the box free CMS tool. It is becoming so popular in fact we have just launched a new Joomla Training course in addition to our popular Wordpress Training course (we also offer a one day course on Social Networking and course on Blogging). Should we all be thinking of abandoning Wordpress and jumping on the Joomla bandwagon? That depends on what you want, what you are capable of and if you will be maintaining your own site.
Should I use Joomla or Wordpress?
This article will show the pros and cons of each tool so that you can make an educated choice.
Wordpress
Wordpress is a really great blog creation tool. It makes simple tasks really easy like adding images, making pages and posts, managing comments etc. Installing it, running it, and publishing basic content with it is quick and simple. It is efficient and allows easy optimising for maximum search engine ranking (blog searchbots, ping /trackback/tag capability etc)
Joomla
Joomla, is geared towards portals and content management. It is extremely powerful and has much more capability than wordpress. It’s also much easier to go wrong with Joomla if you don’t know what you are doing. It demands more technical knowledge. If you want an image library or an extensive ecommerce site however you are going to need something more powerful than wordpress for the job. Joomla comes into it’s own when you require it to work with a custom database. Read the rest of "Joomla vs Wordpress comparison"
