<h2>
1. THE EASIEST WAY TO RE-INSTALL YOUR JOOMLA</h2>
<div>

After succesful installation, Joomla asks you to delete the installation folder. You can click to delete installation folder. But in some cases, you need to install your site again especially for testing and development purpose, thus, to save time you just need go to root folder and <b>rename installation folder .</b> You should change the name to something similar like "installation__ ..." . So any time you like to reinstall you joomla, just return its name back into installation.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
2. RECOVER OR RESET ADMIN PASSWORD</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikuk7g9XBSiJctDAdFYyBgO83xuMbjPKJyLg1n5eSnEp-ixiSYFG5y_IYbv_YI8QOV70xMXoxH16vlSPJFyewspq9I34TbzjNzxM_5Gz1kL_v1e3Rs8jUj5gUl4Iu8yOXgFN0fWaN5zus/s1600/forgot-password.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikuk7g9XBSiJctDAdFYyBgO83xuMbjPKJyLg1n5eSnEp-ixiSYFG5y_IYbv_YI8QOV70xMXoxH16vlSPJFyewspq9I34TbzjNzxM_5Gz1kL_v1e3Rs8jUj5gUl4Iu8yOXgFN0fWaN5zus/s1600/forgot-password.png" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
There are many ways that help you retrieve admin password for your Joomla. This tip is one of those, following these steps you can <b>create a new super user:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>a. Navigate to phpMyAdmin and select the database for the Joomla site in the left-hand drop-down list box. This will show the database tables on the left side of the screen.</li>
<li>b. Press the "SQL" button in the toolbar to run an SQL query on the selected database. This will display a field called "Run SQL query/queries on database <your database="">".</your></li>
<li>c. Delete any text in this field and copy and paste the following query below and press the Go button to execute the query and add the new Administrator user to the table.</li>
<li>d. Use the SQL query below to add another administrator account.</li>
</ul>
<pre class="de1"><pre class="de1" style="background-color: rgb(248, 248, 248) !important; border: none !important; color: #333333; font-family: Consolas, 'Liberation Mono', Menlo, Courier, monospace !important; font-size: 13px !important; line-height: 19px !important; padding: 10px !important; word-wrap: normal;"><span class="kw1">INSERT</span> <span class="kw1">INTO</span> <span class="st0">`jos31_users`</span>
   <span class="br0">(</span><span class="st0">`name`</span><span class="sy0">,</span> <span class="st0">`username`</span><span class="sy0">,</span> <span class="st0">`password`</span><span class="sy0">,</span> <span class="st0">`params`</span><span class="br0">)</span>
<span class="kw1">VALUES</span> <span class="br0">(</span><span class="st0">'Administrator2'</span><span class="sy0">,</span> <span class="st0">'admin2'</span><span class="sy0">,</span>
    <span class="st0">'d2064d358136996bd22421584a7cb33e:trd7TvKHx6dMeoMmBVxYmg0vuXEA4199'</span><span class="sy0">,</span> <span class="st0">''</span><span class="br0">)</span>;
<span class="kw1">INSERT</span> <span class="kw1">INTO</span> <span class="st0">`jos31_user_usergroup_map`</span> <span class="br0">(</span><span class="st0">`user_id`</span><span class="sy0">,</span><span class="st0">`group_id`</span><span class="br0">)</span>
<span class="kw1">VALUES</span> <span class="br0">(</span>LAST_INSERT_ID<span class="br0">(</span><span class="br0">)</span><span class="sy0">,</span><span class="st0">'8'</span><span class="br0">)</span>;</pre>
</pre>
<pre class="de1"></pre>
<div class="alert alert-warning ">
Make sure you match your db table prefix!
The above code uses jos31_ as the table name prefix which is only an example table prefix. The prefix when you first installed Joomla is RANDOM or what you set it specifically too. You will need to change all occurrences of jos31_(your install set prefix) found in the code above to the prefix your installation is using.</div>
<br />
<br />
<h2>
3. FINDING MODULE POSITIONS ON ANY GIVEN PAGE</h2>
To get a visual indication of all module positions used on a page you can follow this procedure:
<br />
<ul>
<li>In the administrative backend go to Extensions->Template Manager. Click on Options and set Preview Module Positions to enabled navigate to the website page you wish to see the module positions for in your web browser.</li>
<li>Click into the URL field in your browser.</li>
<li>Look for any "parameters" at the end of the URL. These are separated from the main part of the URL by a question mark. For example, in the URL http://mydomain.com/index.php?id=17, the "id=17" is a parameter.</li>
<li>If there are no parameters, append "?tp=1" to the URL and press RETURN. For example, http://mydomain.com/index.php?tp=1.</li>
<li>If there are already parameters in the URL, append "&tp=1" to the URL and press RETURN. For example, http://mydomain.com/index.php?id=17&tp=1.</li>
<li>The module positions will be outlined in red.</li>
</ul>
<h2>
4. LINKING TO AN ARTICLE FROM A MODULE</h2>
The example above assumes that you have control over the URL used for the link. However, in some cases, the link is created automatically for you and therefore you don't have the option of manually changing the Itemid of the URL. Examples of this include the Latest News and Most Popular modules, both of which give you links to articles automatically. In this situation, you can still control which modules display when you link to an article. Here are three possible approaches.<br />
a. The simplest trick is to assign modules to All menu items. That way they show up no matter what. But you have to be OK with having the modules on every page.<br />
b. Another possibility is to use a hidden menu item with a Section or Category layout. You can do this on a "hidden" menu and not create a menu module for this "hidden" menu. If you don't have an article layout for the article being linked to, Joomla will try to find a "similar" menu item and use the modules for that item. This also works for category layouts. There is a hierarchy for this, as follows:<br />
<ul>
<li>Article Layout</li>
<li>Category Blog Layout</li>
<li>Category List Layout</li>
</ul>
c. Note that, if you have the Breadcrumbs module enabled, these hidden menu items will show in the breadcrumbs. This means that a user will be able to navigate to the hidden menu item (for example, the section list layout) from the link in the breadcrumbs.<br />
 
d. The sure way to fix this (but also the most work) is to create a separate menu item for each article. This is the most work, but it allows you to completely control the modules displayed for each article.<br />
<h2>
5. UNINSTALLING AN EXTENSION</h2>
If you wish to uninstall an extension on your Joomla site, then follow these simple steps:
<br />
<ul>
<li>a. Select "Extensions" and then "Extension Manager" from the dropdown menu</li>
<li>b. Select "Manage" on the left menu</li>
<li>c. Select the type of extension you wish to uninstall. You will have the choice between Components, Files, Modules, Plugins, Languages and Templates.</li>
<li>d. Find the extension you wish to uninstall and check the checkbox to the left of the extension title.</li>
<li>e. Press "Uninstall" on below the title "Extension Manager: Manage".</li>
</ul>

People who have developed with CMS systems will certainly choose a favorite system for their development. As web professionals, it is our job to analyze the needs of individual projects and forget about favorites. Most CMS’s are built as a bare bones system ready for expansion, but upgrading a site with 20+ extensions to the latest version of the CMS can be heinous.<br />
To be honest, they are all unbelievable systems, and can make creating a website quick and easy, no matter how little one knows about computers and technology. Choosing which system to use can be difficult and hard to think, but it is an important choice to make. For most people, once they’ve started with one, they won’t want to change. It will help them to create mighty websites without having to worry about all the install, coding, and other technical aspects of it. This decision has always been actually simple. Let’s take a few minutes to review each of these two content management systems to see which one is right for you.<br />
<br />
<h2>
I WHAT IS CMS:</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFL5jFlEyxVIUK52cMWm6W2yTx6OLFE1-aASxPQmJYTAjOZJgTwlTUS-eAKwF7mIxzumfTleQuqsasoXvk_VStVd0GRJF7nt1FoiijIVRklqzB7YJ0BrNNAE35DAqywbICkRoEGwy-cUY/s1600/what-is-cms.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="what is cms" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFL5jFlEyxVIUK52cMWm6W2yTx6OLFE1-aASxPQmJYTAjOZJgTwlTUS-eAKwF7mIxzumfTleQuqsasoXvk_VStVd0GRJF7nt1FoiijIVRklqzB7YJ0BrNNAE35DAqywbICkRoEGwy-cUY/s1600/what-is-cms.jpg" title="what is cms joomla" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
A content management system is a computer application or software used to manage the content of a Website. CMSs are usually used to run websites containing news, blogs, and shopping. The features of a CMS system vary, it provides procedures to manage workflow in a cooperative environment, allows publishing, editing and modifying content, organizing, deleting as well as maintenance from a central interface. Typically, a CMS consists of two elements: the content management application (CMA) and the content delivery application (CDA). Many collaborative and marketing websites use CMSs. CMSs altogether intend to avoid the demand for hand coding, but may provide it for specific element or all pages. What’s more, a CMS designed for web publishing will determine data and keywords for search engine crawlers and also support affections and options to list and search documents.<br />
Wordpress and Joomla are both popular content management system (CMS) online that are used by millions of website worldwide.  They are PHP – MySQL based content management systems, which means that they use a database to store and retrieve your content. That means that they vary significantly in term of features, capability, flexibility, and ease of use..<br />
Both Joomla! And Wordpress have huge and wide market share and together account for a large percentage of all websites on the internet. They are based open source website CMS applications that work on a standard hosting platform and are supported by a varied international community of programmers/ developers who contribute to these free downloadable packages. .<br />
So for now we will take a look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of each of these CMS Solutions:<br />
<br />
<h4>
1. Cost </h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
When it comes to introduce a website, or anything else for that matter, most business owners should be care and concern with two kinds of costs.  The first cost is the most popular, obvious and it's the question that got asked by all of prospects. How much will this website cost? <br />
The great news is that both Wordpress and Joomla are free to download, install and use, and are often contained in free script programs on hosting packages, so you do not even have to download them for using them.<br />
In this case, Joomla comes fully-loaded with a circle of extensions and features are easy to add on.  A Joomla site can be up and running in a matter of day, assuming the content is ready to go.  Also, Joomla is the platform that we would like to train on since it has a great organized front-end and back-end user interface.  This means that our clients can do all of the minor maintenance. <br />
<br />

<br />
<h4>
2. Time </h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
When setting up websites with Joomla, Wordpress and other cms's. We can be confident and believe that Joomla has the shortest development cycle. This is expository for a business who competing on price sometimes. <br />
<br />
<h4>
3. Size </h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
Since hosting is one of the main cost factors concluded in creating or maintaining a WordPress or Joomla or any other kind of business website for that matter, you’re probably going to want to insure that the CMS you choose is not going to use up all of your hosting space!<br />
The good news is that at 30Mb and 10Mb specifically, neither Joomla nor WordPress will be using all your server space when you install them. The truth is, compared to some other CMS platforms, they are determined tiny.<br />
<br />
<h4>
4. Functionality</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq8_0mA9Z45JjmW5gopKrCYPrO03eKTWY-9FW4bD5ujqxpeyXCOnFO-nCDO_YFWhyxk8Wk1qsfNwfAlwm-4gEyMM1npmWIBE8so7DBIh-e990kfCYpCiS7toTJdarK-_vkMfVw0SKcbk4/s1600/functionality.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="joomla and wordpress functionality" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq8_0mA9Z45JjmW5gopKrCYPrO03eKTWY-9FW4bD5ujqxpeyXCOnFO-nCDO_YFWhyxk8Wk1qsfNwfAlwm-4gEyMM1npmWIBE8so7DBIh-e990kfCYpCiS7toTJdarK-_vkMfVw0SKcbk4/s1600/functionality.jpg" title="joomla and wordpress functionality" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Both WordPress and Joomla work as CMS packages, although WordPress is technical a blogging platform. They allow you to form pages, sections and upload content promptly and facilely, and have an user-friendly and flexible interface. Both are also stable, thanks to the work of the communities that use and ameliorate them, and that means that your site will be ‘up’ more often than not.<br />
However, this kind of observed phenomenon may be predictable as Wordpress and Joomla are not equal functionality: Wordpress was originally developed and managed as primarily a blogging flat form while Joomla! CMS can be used for basically every standard website functionality requirement you can imagine. While both are divided into CMS applications, Wordpress is quite restricted, created primarily for blogging and is essentially used by hobbyists, while Joomla is intended for much more serious, business-oriented types of applications.<br />
This observed phenomenon may in fact be predictable as Wordpress and Joomla are not equal in their functionality. While the functionality of Wordpress can be limited with the use of plug-ins, Joomla’s core capabilities appear to be ensemble unlimited with the use of three different types of extensions: modules, plug-ins and components<br />
Anyone with a basic knowledge of computers and the internet should be able to begin using either Joomla or WordPress, and within a few hours, they will have mastered the basics to upgrade their content and make basic changes to their website, so they’re both great for business owners.<br />
<br />
<h4>
5. Support and community</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1ANkzIvbhkS3Sw1l4Eg1i84wgFlzHTEKxuvNv8JNIPKSPRA9dT8VPU9nTcZbNFP_Uxmi1CC39-wv67Fx0Y6ilNyF6nJaVwbfpVzv2yLHA2CxW3_LdB-VJVsF5hswLZU3MN_g-LxaP97s/s1600/community-support.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="joomla and wordpress community support" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1ANkzIvbhkS3Sw1l4Eg1i84wgFlzHTEKxuvNv8JNIPKSPRA9dT8VPU9nTcZbNFP_Uxmi1CC39-wv67Fx0Y6ilNyF6nJaVwbfpVzv2yLHA2CxW3_LdB-VJVsF5hswLZU3MN_g-LxaP97s/s1600/community-support.jpg" title="joomla and wordpress community support" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
We found, somewhat surprisingly, that — in comparison with Joomla — WordPress lacks a lot of community-building ideas. Its website is mellifluous (they might call it minimalistic) and seems to rest on the fact that WordPress is already the most popular CMS around.<br />
Joomla, otherwise, really is trying to inspirit its community. The website is really attractive and percipient, it has a number of great ideas on the go and its support forum is phenomenal.<br />
<br />
<h4>
6. Wordpress for blog and Newsy sites, Joomla for the rest:</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
One of the major differences between Joomla and WordPress is how they are set up. Wordpress is an excellent system to use when creating a website that lets you quickly get your thoughts out on the web, but while it is often used as a blog, it can be configured to work in many other interesting ways as well. Because Wordpress is facile, effortless to use and some of them were familiar with it. Install Wordpress on a dedicated server could access promptly and fluidly from anywhere with an internet connection. And let them get to business rather than have to learn about a whole different system.<br />
However, Wordpress is not to be used for almost everything. The very reason that Wordpress was created was to keep and maintain people from wanting to customize it to do things that are much more inflated. It is suggested to be used a specified and certain way without alteration - because any alteration that you give to it may very well affect it to break. You will see many users of WP repining that it is not developer friendly - and rightfully so, because there will be countless times in your journey to that great website that an upgrade released by the WP developers causes your entire site to simply disappear, or for those modifications that you made previously to no longer even exist.<br />
What’s more, the extension concept of both Joomla and WordPress is similar, yet different in detail and content. Where WordPress only has the notion of plugins to extend both the core functionality and the front-end output, Joomla has drawn in another line. While plugins in Joomla always only affect the front-end, you need components to widen the core functionality. These components can be modified by plugins.<br />
<br />
<h4>
7. Template, Plugin and other stuffs::</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
When it comes to free templates, plugins and modules, Joomla is probably slightly better than WordPress, because it not only has better template, but also is an open source package, with a huge global community who are constantly working on new designs and scripts. <br />
Joomla also seems to have a thousand dozen of free extensions: plugins, templates, modules,…Which available to take it further, including a wide range of free options. There are also software packages, designed to allow you to create your own professional templates using a drag and drop system, which is super simple, and requires zero knowledge of html, java, or any of the other complex internet stuff.<br />
Many of the major freelancing platforms online have Joomla developers who will create custom templates, plugins, or modules for a very reasonable price.  They are also very enthusiastic leading to the number of Joomla extensions growing up rapidly. <br />
Those templates, modules or plugins can do just about anything you like on your site, so if you spend some time looking at other sites you like, you could probably have a developer somewhere in the world whip it up for you.<br />
<br />
<h2>
II. CONCLUSION</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEFAt6U_dmr3wV5OMowuCOsoc-XNNt0arTp_Gzhavgw035u7IsJ6Pf18mxZiK9pTNDc5rt1jU4z8B_jLamFo-Ss5ZDeFr9LGWHg8NTzLhwIxUk04bqCjLEbxcJx0P11oLLIMu0zfRXIIc/s1600/conclusion.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="joomla and wordpress conclusion" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEFAt6U_dmr3wV5OMowuCOsoc-XNNt0arTp_Gzhavgw035u7IsJ6Pf18mxZiK9pTNDc5rt1jU4z8B_jLamFo-Ss5ZDeFr9LGWHg8NTzLhwIxUk04bqCjLEbxcJx0P11oLLIMu0zfRXIIc/s1600/conclusion.jpg" title="joomla and wordpress conclusion" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
The purpose of this series is to give you clear point of view to the drawbacks, capabilities and advantages of each CMS. In my opinions, both systems are good for certain purposes and this thought seem to be reiterated every time we begin planning a site design. We would like you to walk away with enough insight and understanding to make a truly informed decision on what the best CMS for your website is. 
The fact is, I just cannot find the evidence to conclusively name one CMS a comprehensive winner. When it comes to a pure website application, Joomla comes out tops – the code is stronger, there are more features, and it is growing and expanding as a platform on an almost constant basis, which makes it easier to adapt to the ever-changing requirements of large-scale websites.<br />
However, if you are looking for a basic website or blog that looks like a website, and you want something quick, easy and simple, WordPress is more than up to the job.<br />
Of the two, you will need to have more technical skill to keep, provide and maintain a Joomla site, so if you are worried about your ability, it might be better to opt for the simpler WordPress option.<br />
As a general rule of thumb, when I’m developing and managing a website that relies heavily on content – I will generally take a look to Wordpress. For just about everything else, I usually choose to use Joomla.<br />
In all, both of these CMS packages are adaptable, smooth, great, low cost and easy to use. Decide whether you need a mega site or a simpler site that showcases your business in the best light, and then work from there. Joomla is up to managing just about anything, including thousand page mega sites, while WordPress will give you a clear, clean, stylish and simple business site without breaking a sweat.<br />
Which CMS is your favorite and you decide to use? Why? If you have any concerns, questions or you think I’ve missed something important, please post your comment for our improvement.<br />

It is difficult to satisfy a customer if you don't know what they really wants - Above all else, try to make your customer happy, glad and satisfied. All you'll have to do to figure this out is to simply listen. Humans aren't perfectly logical creatures - if someone likes you, they're more likely to buy from you, paying more attention to the deal what you're offering. Be charming, friendly, hospitality and open with your customer. Give her peace of mind and soul. Whatever your customer is looking for, that's what you should try to find and support to them. This is easy - at the beginning, ask a customer what you can help with and let the customer describe their issue or desire. Once you know what she wants, you'll be able to decide which products, services, etc. best meet her needs. - try to pay attention to how she says it in terms of facial expressions, body language, etc. If a customer looks tight or impatiently, you'll know that you can satisfy them by providing him an easy, quick solution to their issues, rather than giving to them sales pitch for your whole range of products. If however, you go well out of your way to keep happy customers, then your traffic will like a craft and customer will feel comfortable purchasing your products.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
Some of the world’s websites bear from mistakes that can significantly impact their effectiveness and can be easily ejected. So these should be something to watch out for. <br />
In the process of creating a website design, here are some common website mistakes to avoid and also it is a construction of exactly what those guidelines are.<br />
<h5>
a. Code Quality</h5>
Naturally, when creating themes, you need to follow the basic WordPress coding standards. WordPress publishes two set of standards, one for CSS and another for HTML and PHP. Good code quality means your theme passes the review with flying colors. Your code should generally be validated. Furthermore, commented or easily editable code can also be a great selling point to buyers who want to later edit and customize their new theme. Also, many theme marketplaces require you to meet a certain level of standards fitting.<br />
<h5>
b. Line Height – Another mistake you can make is Line Height.</h5>
So, what’s the optimum line height? <br />
Line height for text is something that often gets overlooked. A lot of web designers and developers choose a font, pick a size, arbitrarily select a line height, and then call it a day. Line height can be crucial in determining the user friendliness of a website and good spacing will just generally make a webpage's text easier on the eye. But line height has a significant impress on a site’s overall appeal and design. Choosing the wrong line height can leave fonts looking crowded and unsuitable. It can ruin your entire design. Some people will not begin reading because it does not look like a very good reading experience. <br />
In general, the leading of the majority of your text should be approximately 1.3-1.6em. This creates a great reading experience, as you can see in the image below.<br />
<br />

V.Tip 5: Documentation your Template Well</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
It is very important to understand the meaning of Documentation used on this site: Documentation is a collection of linked individual pages, each with optional scrolling and non-scrolling areas, text, and perhaps images and other media embedded. It’s a hassle for the template creator but it is also necessary. A template’s documentation is important when you don’t know who your customer is. Your buyer is not someone who's a web designer like yourself, so they probably aren't going to know even the core aspects of setting up and/or modifying the theme. You must detail certain aspects of your template and how to change anything. Otherwise the person who buys it will not have a clue. Providing guidance on how to edit and customize your theme can be a key point in your theme, especially as they become more complex. Without a clear readme, your template is guaranteed to be rejected. Luckily for us there is a helpful, great, clearly layout PDF explaining the theme in a jargon-free environment can be a lifeboat, and potentially why some people choose to buy your theme. You can stress your support lines too, if you have any, so your buyer will feel safe that there's nothing in the way of their investment.<br />

VI. Tip 6: Stop Using "Lorem Ispum"</h2>

<div>
<br /></div>
Lorem ipsum dolor has long been known as the designer’s best friend. We think it should be your enemy. Nowadays, Thousands of people will be browsing through your theme on a weekly basis... so why not include some custom written text for your theme that helps them get a better idea of what your theme has to offer? What’s more, we recommend that when you create out interfaces you use relevant, true words not “lorem ipsum” representative text. <br />
The aim here is to get as close to the true customer experience as possible. Don’t draw yourself from the real experience.  If your site requires data, enter real and appropriate words and typewritten the text, don’t just paste it in from another source. If it’s a name, type a real name. If it’s a password, and it’s type it twice, repeated twice. It's a no brainer, and it shouldn't take you much longer than an hour to write up some actual content for your theme. Remember that: Do as customers do and you’ll understand them better. When you understand them better, and feel what they feel, you’ll build a better interface.<br />
