For a long time now we've been wanting to do a complete makeover of our web site, and yes we know what you are thinking "it's about time". Being the technlogist that I am, I also wanted to vastly improve the way we design and manage content on the site so I figured it was time that I finally research and learn about the available web content management systems. After much gnashing of teeth and musing over the fact that web technology really has come as far as I thought it should by now, I decided to go with the Open Source Joomla CMS system. It is relatively easy to use and has a lot of available extensions with varying degrees of usefullness.
