CMS

Joomla is one of the most popular content management systems (CMS) on the web at the moment. However, it is surprising how often Joomla websites are not optimised for performance and just left in there default installation state.

We cannot recommend this Drupal module highly enough. It is an excellent addition to any Drupal website, whether you are suffering from poor performance or not. Boost can speed up anonymous browsing of your Drupal site by inordinate proportions.

Drupal is an excellent all round content management system (CMS) that can adapt to just about anything you want it to do.

It's that time again... Drupal.org have released their latest version of the Drupal 6 CMS system.

Although there doesn’t appear to be any security related fixes from 6.21 to 6.22, we still advise everyone using our UK web hosting to update their Drupal 6 installations as a matter of course. Any users running installations below 6.21 should upgrade as a matter of urgency, as some cross site scripting security issues were fixed in that version.

This article gives a brief overview of bug fixes and the upgrade process from Drupal 6.16 to 6.17.
