Marketing Meets Worlds Leading Content Management System

Joomla Content Management SystemWhile many marketers will promote the next new over-hyped script for managing your content I’ve always wondered why they don’t at least include a little about the open source community where you’ll be able to find all you’ll ever need. I do agree that sometimes open source scripts can become a little more complicated then those small CMS scripts that mostly do ONE task particularly well but, when you’ve mastered the few skills needed to maintain such an OS (open source) script, you’ll get so much more for less money…Uhm, I mean for free! And let’s not fool each other! Those scripts designed by the marketing community cost you an arm and a leg and basically they have taken the idea from the OS community in the first place.

In my years online I haven’t yet seen a new idea that wasn’t already being developed in the OS community. Sometimes it made me sad to see how one marketer takes down the other over a discussion, who was first with the idea…while I already knew they didn’t come up with it. If there wasn’t another word for it, it would be called steeling, however as the open source consists of free products that are there for ongoing developments, all they had to do is go get a script, bring it to a programmer that will fix it up and then sell it at much to high prices claiming to be the author. That’s one of the reasons I’ve turned my website up side down and changed it to be a resource for marketers willing to learn more about the world leading free content management system called Joomla! You can check it out and if you hurry you can grab a free one year subscription to the site which includes many tutorials and information you’d like to go through when you’re thinking of running your own Joomla powered website. Although I feel the value of the site is tremendous I have to tell you that the site is still in it’s early days so, you can expect much more to be added in the near future. I particularly like to get some feedback so I can implement it in the site as soon as possible…so don’t be shy, hit that help desk button, rate the products and articles and comment where you can. I’ll appreciate it. Visit my site at Paul Hendrix Dot Com
