Joomla 1.5 Features & Screenshots

Joomla 1.5 was just released earlier today, and it is a huge milestone for the content management system. There was so much excitement that this morning I had troubles even getting to their site to retrieve some information about the new version. Once we got in we grabbed several screenshots of the improved admin interface and posted them below.

It’s possible that you haven’t heard of Joomla before. It can be compared to blogging software such as WordPress or MovableType, but it includes many more features out-of-the-box. It’s completely open source, and also has an incredible community surrounding them who have helped build thousands of plug-ins. In all it is packed with features that will help manage whatever kind of content you’re looking to post.
