The Joomla! Project today announced the availability of Joomla! CMS 3.1.0 Stable. Joomla 3.1 the second minor release in the Joomla! 3 series.

Joomla! 3.1 CMS with Tags

A major new feature that comes with Joomla! 3.1 is Tags. Dynamic tagging is now available across all content types.

When designing a web site, or planning the content structure of a site, one is often faced with the issue of choosing between one or another category for an article.

Many times, content fits into more then one category, or you would like to provide visitors to your web site with more then one way to find the content they are looking for.

This is where the new Tags feature of the Joomla! 3.1 CMS will be very valuable.

Joomla!® 2.5.6 is now available for download.

This release is the latest in the 2.5 series, and includes updates and fixes.

If you are still using Joomla! 1.5 you should have a look at all the new features that's available in 2.5

Official support for the 1.5 series is said to end later this year, and it would be a good idea to start making plans to upgrade to the latest Long Term Support version (2.5)

Those who are still on 1.6.x or 1.7.x are sJoomla 2.5trongly encouraged to Update to 2.5 without delay, since none the 1.6 and 1.7 series are no longer supported, and not secure.

Further new features, that many will appreciate, were also added since 2.5.5

If you have not tried Joomla before, check out the online Demo, or Download Joomla! 2.5.6

Should you require help in upgrading from 1.1.x or 1.5.x to Joomla 2.5 you can get free help on the Joomla! Forums, or for professional help, you are welcome to contact me for a quote.
