Joomla is undoubtedly one of the best CMS available in the market. As more and more websites have started using Joomla, its important that the site is configured properly to prevent any security compromises. A lot of people getting old versions of #joomla 1.5 hacked today. Securing your site is rather easy, if you know what, where, and how it needs to be completed. I have compiled 14 security tips to secure your joomla website.

Today Google is celebrating its 12th birthday with a special doodle on Google.com. The Google Logo – Happy 12th Birthday Google image by Wayne Thiebaud is used with permission of VAGA NY.

Google Inc.is a multinational public cloud computing, Internet search, and advertising technologies corporation. Google hosts and develops a number of Internet-based services and products, and generates profit primarily from advertising through its AdWords program. The company was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, often dubbed the “Google Guys”, while the two were attending Stanford University as Ph.D. candidates. It was first incorporated as a privately held company on September 4, 1998, and its initial public offering followed on August 19, 2004. The company’s stated mission from the outset was “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”, and the company’s unofficial slogan — coined by Google engineer Paul Buchheit — is Don’t be evil. In 2006, the company moved to their current headquarters in Mountain View, California.

Microsoft unveiled the beta version of Internet Explorer 9, which the company hopes will allow it to maintain its market-share lead against Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

Microsoft claimed in a Sept. 15 presentation in San Francisco that Internet Explorer 9 provides the best performance on the Web, leveraging both HTML5 and Windows 7 to deliver rich content faster.

“The Web is about sites; the browser should be, too. People go to the Web for sites, not the browser; much as you go to your PC for apps, not Windows. Today, Websites are boxed in. The box is the browser,” Dean Hachamovitch, corporate vice president of Windows Internet Explorer, explained to the audience during the presentation. “We asked ourselves: how could we put sites at the center of the experience? How can IE make sites shine. Our approach here is to use the whole PC.”

The Open Source Awards is an annual online event held by Packt Publishing to distinguish excellence among Open Source projects. This is your chance to put forward your favorite Open Source project in each category to go through to the final stage of voting. The top five projects with the most nominations in each category will go through to the final stage of voting. The nominations will end on September 17.

Now in its fifth year, the Award, formerly known as the Open Source Content Management System (CMS) Award, is designed to encourage, support, recognize and reward not only CMSes but a wider range of Open Source projects. Last year Wordpress won the prize, but you'll have to take into account, that since 2008 previous winners were not allowed to join the competition for the Overall Open Source CMS award. That was probably done, because otherwise we would always have the same winners. You know who... Previous winners compete amongst one another in the separate Hall of Fame CMS category designed specifically for them.

When the contest started in 2006, Joomla! was the winner and Drupal second. In 2007 it was the other way around. Since 2008 Drupal and Joomla! compete for the Hall of Fame CMS award. In those two years Drupal ended as number one and Joomla! was on the second place. It is your vote that makes the difference. There are 6 categories. For Joomla! it is mainly the Hall of Fame category where you can show your enthusiasm.

It is estimated that there are more than 1.7 billion Internet users in the world. Despite the size of this audience, the Internet's growth period is not yet behind it, since that audience represents only about a quarter of the world's population. Therefore, if you are looking for a career that taps into a tremendous existing and potential demand, working with the Internet is a natural choice.

The next question, though, is whether earning a doctorate in Web development is the right choice. This guide can help you answer that question by taking you through five steps toward launching your career via a PhD in Web development:

Nepal will soon have its own search engine. After the immense popularity of search engines like Google and Yahoo, a local youth has developed possibly the first search engine based in Nepal. The project was unveiled for the first time at the ongoing Midas CAN SofTech 2010.

Apar Thebe, who developed the search engine named ´ebuzz! asia´, said that the search engine would be launched commercially by October. Thebe said he thought of this concept when he could not find necessary documents for his research when he was studying abroad.

“I felt that our data and information are not digitized. I worked on the search engine project to make our data and information available to all at a single click,” Thebe said.

Today Joomla! turns five years old. Congratulations to all!

On September 1st, 2005 the joomla.org websites were launched, at which point Joomla was was an unknown name to the world.

Right now, Joomla has been downloaded 18,317,160 times (at a current speed of about 190,000 downloads per week), an estimate of 1.75 million websites use Joomla and exactly  5519 extensions have been submitted to the Joomla Extensions Directory. Furthermore, the search term 'Joomla' is typed in to Google approximately 6.4 times per second (yes, that means that if you finish reading this blog, over 300 people have searched for 'Joomla' on Google!).

As a Content Management System, Joomla incorporates the W3C standards that outline the specific languages that can be used in creating templates. Some of these templates incorporate HyperText Markup Language, Extensible Markup Language, or Cascading Style Sheets.

Since Joomla is an open source solution, it is available to any developer who can use the templates coding for any purpose that they have a need for. All web pages are written in one of the W3C standard codes, and Joomla provides a W3C validity checker on the joomlacrib.com site that will allow developers to check the changes that they made to the newest version of Joomla.

If you looking to add language translation functionality into your website so that non-English speaking visitors can read your pages in their native language, you have a couple of good options to choose from. Google Translation Widgets are available as a JavaScript based Language drop-down, as a overlay toolbar, as AJAX for in-place translation and as plain HTML.

If you are thinking to add it, wait it may harm you web ranking in  Search engine. I spotted an interesting comment from Google's JohnMu at the Google Webmaster Help forums. John said that in some cases, using Google Translate to auto-translate content for your web site might be seen as "creating auto-generated content, which would be against our Webmaster Guidelines."

On Thursday morning, Steven P. Jobs, Apple’s chief executive, showed off a new social network for music called Ping. It runs inside the newest version of Apple’s iTunes software. Ping also works on the latest software for iPhones and iPod Touches. (Apple hasn’t made it available for iPad this time around.)

It’s like “Facebook and Twitter meet iTunes,” Jobs says. “But it’s not Facebook, it’s not Twitter,” Jobs is quick to note — “it’s a social network all about music.” And guess what? It has 160 million users in 23 countries built in right away (Apple will presumably be opening it up to other iTunes users later). And it’s available on your iPhone and iPod touch — right in the iTunes Store.

Jobs notes that this feature is all about discovery. You can follow both artists and your friends. And you can be followed. With it, you get custom song and album charts to discover new music. And you can post your thoughts and opinions about your favorite music. Plus, there are 17,000 concert listing in the network.

Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal on Wednesday said that the benefits of information technology should be taken to the grassroots level and it should benefit people in the day to day activities.

Inaugurating the Midas CAN Softech 2010 at Direction Exhibition and Convention Center at United World Trade Center in Tripureshwar on Wednesday, PM Nepal said the usage of software, which is limited to official works at present, should also benefit the rural folks.

Stressing on the government initiative to impose ban on porn sites, PM Nepal also sought support of IT professionals to implement the restriction.
