Joomla is one of the best Content Management System (CMS) available. It is an open source software and available for free. Joomla is the software result of a serious disagreement between the Mambo Foundation founded in August 2005, and its development team. Joomla! is the continued development of the successful Mambo system.

I am right now exploring it and trying to master its administration section (the back end) to control the website (front end). I like the organization of the administration section, there is hundreds of option available and all are well organized. It will look confusing at the first glance but when you look it for couple of times you will start understanding how things will work for you. I am at the moment exploaring it more will come on this blog about Joomla.

One thing I like most about Joomla is its name and logo. Joomla as it is said a Swahili word but I doubt that this word is derived from Sindhi word Joomlo, which means “every body”, and in late 1800 and early 1900 people from sub-continent migrated to East Africa, where Swahili is abundantly spoken. Any ways who cares where is the name came from, the name is superb and the logo is perfect.
