I've been trying to think of a light hearted and topical blog post for this time of year when I remembered a tweet requesting a Joomla Xmas Carol.
Below you will find "my" version of "The 12 Days of Christmas" and I've taken a few liberties with the numbers.

Together they will help you improve accessibility, usability, performance and generally make your life easier.
Can you trust your joomla extensions?
Today at last I have the answer
