Joomla sites to inspire you
Gazzetta KicKs Off
I'm not really here today as I am teaching a Joomla class in Central London but I couldn't resist the temptation to blog in advance about an amazing site that hopefuly has been relaunched by the time you can see this blog post.
(That's assuming of course that I make the correct adjustments for time zones, so if the site doesn't look like the image here then come back in a few hours and oopsie.)
As you've probably gathered I'm a big fan of K2
from joomlaworks.gr. Some people even call it "Joomla 1.6 without the wait", and if you've tried it for yourself you will know how incredibly powerful it is.
The Telegraph selects the best Culture web sites
Two Joomla powered sites right there at the top of the tree.
The Daily Telegraph newspaper is one of the more traditional and conservative (small c and big c) newspapers in the UK and is almost the only daily newspaper that still uses the broadsheet format it also has the highest circulation of any "quality" newspaper.
Intolerant Offspring
(This is a guest post by Ken Crowder)
Having two kids with food allergies, my wife Michelle and I have had to learn to cook differently over the last two years. Since we love to cook and almost never eat out, this became a little difficult. Over those two years we have amassed a good number of great recipes. After a while we thought that we should share these with others. That is how Intolerant Offspring was born.
Taking a bus tour
I came across this site last week whilst doing a little bit of holiday planning for my parents.
www.eggedo.co.il is the web site for coach tours of Israel (and beyond) for the Israeli national bus company.
It's very different to the usual type of clean, crisp web site that I admire.
Add a commentHow many joomla sites are there in the world?
How many joomla sites are there in the world? Or perhaps of more interest what percentage of successful web sites are created with joomla? And what are the Top 10 joomla sites.
The number of downloads of joomla is interesting but it doesn't really give a true figure of installations, especialy as you could use one download 100 times or just install it directly from your host.
The only way to tell is to actually sit down and count them all.

I can not think of a better site to start this new series showcasing some of the original web sites I have come across all powered by Joomla.
"Our Transport Heritage" not only features a clean, tableless design, with stunning imagery but it also uses some of the more familiar third party joomla extensions to truly inspire you.

Over the next few weeks and months I will be following up the popular "5 minute interview" series with a new series of blog posts presenting Joomla sites to inspire you.
In the early days of Joomla, when I was browsing the web, I regularly stumbled upon a site and quickly realised it was "powered by joomla".
All the sites appeared to have a similar look and feel and there was little originality. Today, thankfully, things are much better and it is often quite a while before I realise the sites provenance.
In this new series I hope to present you with some Joomla sites I have found that are not the "norm".
