Only, instead of a WP plugin like "related posts" you can plug in a forum, community software, a blog, e-commerce... you can do this relatively easily... it is a very powerful platform... there are also more templates available for it... if you needed paid support finding Joomla developers is easy, there are a lot of people working with it... Before settling on Joomla I looked at Drupal, which is better for bespoke stuff... but there is a lot less ready made stuff to take advantage of. Xoops looked good, but they abandoned their current branch and reverted to an older one leaving many of the plugins behind... that was a real shame... but hopefully it will get back on track... Plone is another good one, but I don't use Python... There are lots of CMS's to choose from... but realistically you can only learn one or two... as I work alone I look for products with a lot of readily available features.... Which would you pick then??? Because like WP there are lots of ‘plugins’ (Modules and Components) available for it.

In fact, I've been writing some php apps for my Pokemon site (runs on WordPress). I could have made pages outside of the blog but I wanted the apps to be part of the site (and use my wordpress ads). Using some basic php and mysql I set it up so that a reader picks something in a drop down, hits a button and the query goes to the db, grabs the data and reloads the page with new data. I could have used ajax but then it would only count as one page view! If someone is going to burn up my bandwidth looking up hundreds of entries in my database I need to earn some PV metrics out of them! I have been using this plug-in for months.

I was reading an article on Ajax the other day making just that point, that it is not as widely used as it could be because of the negative effect on stats... funny stuff ;-) I don't really use JavaScript or Ajax, mainly because of the amount of errors and memory issues I have with FF accessing JS heavy sites... Im not a fan, although some of the effects are very cool ;-) Got the link to the page you wrote... would be interested to take a look... Jez Hi Steve,

Jez. You are much better in programming than me, so if I can fit what I want I'm sure you can do the same.
