Joomla 2.5 was released earlier this week and I would like to publicly thanks everyone who helped to code and test this release. It truly is the next major step in the life of this awesome community software project.

The upgrade process from Joomla 1.7 is a very simple one-click process but there are a few things you should do immediately after performing the upgrade to ensure a smooth transition.

Of course it goes without saying that you should perform a full site backup before starting the upgrade process.

The advice below should be followed in this specific order.

Over 28,000 people have now seen the slides of the presentation but sadly only about five hundred have seen the presentation live in it's full glory.

Those of you who have seen one of my presentations before will know that the slides are only a small part of the presentation. It's just not the same without the full visual and audio experience.
