Joomla 1.6.2 Features

Joomla 1.6.2 Features
The latest version from Joomla, Joomla 1.6.2 is a highly capable website software. It is an open source platform that works on Windows Vista 64-bit, Windows 7, Windows 7 64-bit, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Linux and Mac OS X.

Joomla is an extremely impressive Content Management System that is used for small websites as well as for online communities. Joomla works best on those webhosts that run on Linux, although even Windows-based webhosts will not give you any problems. It however requires a database to work, so it is important to check with the budget hosting plans as it does not generally include this.

Installation is a very simple process where you can upload files to webhost and then open the installation wizard in a separate Internet browser. All you have to do is answer a few questions and then your website is all set to go.

With Joomla, it is not possible to set permission for various users. So, a user may be able to write a few articles but won’t be allowed to publish it to leave control with the owner. What’s more, there is no need to have HTML knowledge as Joomla comes with an in-built editor that looks similar to a word processor.

Joomla also has a very active community that constantly creates new extensions and features for shopping carts of search engine friendly links.
