  1. Another great step by step guide well worth reading. I have used joomla time and time again its great !

    Do mambo templates still work with joomla?

    • Glad you enjoyed the post! To answer your question, this really varies from template to template. Some Mambo templates will work with Joomla, while others are incompatible. It’s best to read the documentation provided by the developer of the template — that should tell you whether it will work with Joomla or not. Hope that answers your question! Thanks for your post!

  2. I have never looked into joomla but your tutorial just made it easier for me :) thanks
