Welcome to Joomla User Group Suffolk

We're hoping to arrange guest speakers for our monthly meetings, but as this is a group that is here to serve the users, we would be grateful if you could provide suggestions for topics you'd like to hear about!

I'll start the boat off with using Search Engine Friendly URL's - Matt did an awesome job of trawling the internet to find suffolk-based websites and we came up with 50-odd, and I'd guestimate about 75% of those did not have search engine friendly URL's.

This is a massive oversight on the designers, you could potentially treble your traffic from search engines by properly formatting your URL's, not to mention the fact that they're a darn site nicer when you're copy/pasting to send to someone!

Would this be a useful topic of presentation?  If so I'll knock something up together for Tuesday's session if we get enough people :)

Hi Ruth,

Security!

That module that changes the login page is fantastic! Any other bright ideas would be handy.

I would also like to know what Matt used in the search engines to find the websites as that might also be something to look into to stop hackers finding Joomla sites.

Thanks

Chris

Some great ideas there Chris!

There are several security components/modules/plugins which you can use to help "hide" your Joomla site from prying eyes - definitely a good topic for a meeting, perhaps next month's at Felixstowe?
