Quite simply, Content Mangement is the editing of your site, but there are many distinctions. Writers pen their articles and submit to an editor to allude to the newspaper industry (works well here). Those articles are then "fitted" into the publication after the copy has been (re) formatted for the publication.

Your website can be approached much the same way, the artilces are written, checked and then published. When a company such as Web GooRu supplies Content Management, it goes something like this:

If you are using Wordpress and intend to use it to build your business site, then STOP! Switch over to Joomla! And never look back. Continue down the path of Wordpress and get stuck in their development chasing Joomla! Somehow Wordpress has gained traction and has become quite popular. Folks may not know the difference and attach themselves to Wordpress because it looks easy. Make no mistake, Wordpress is not for businesses (yet). It has a long way to go to offer the resources required to support a business website.

Joomla! Comes from humble beginnings. It started as MAMBO a commercial product that the authors (from Australia) released in to the open source world. Problem was the authors had intended to bring MAMBO back into the commercial world after the Open Source community further developed it. That rubbed the open source community the wrong way and they “forked” the development and named the new development JOOMLA! Since then the CMS has attracted unprecedented developers of components, modules, plugins and templates. Their Forum alone has been the most active on the planet reaching 1 million posts a couple of years ago.

The Content Management Sytem (CMS) world is charging hard and making huge waves in the industry. CMS's have evolved in the last 7 years or so into a defacto development platform for many developers, namely myself.

CMS's have replaced many of the tools we used to use to develop websites. The evolution of the internet has matured the tools so that now developers can quickly bring a site to market. It used to take quite a long time to hand code a site. Now using CMS's that time has greatly been reduced. Not only can we build sites faster, but much more accurately too.

Keep your website safe!

In my experience website management is a must. If left unchecked your website could easily become hacked or controlled by another. Why does this happen? Simple, the internet is a place of evolution, it does not stop expanding, or evolving, and if your website does not keep pace it becomes vulnerable very fast.

This is how to blog. The component is made by IDO and all operations can happen from the front end. These instructions are for IDO Blog only and may not work for any other blog. Please note the Blog menu item in the Main Menu.
