Just a quick note to compliment you on your well written newsletter. 
I have been a free-lance editor for many years and it is seldom, if ever, that I come across excellent grammar and perfect spelling.  Congratulations! Kind regards.

What are Forums and how they can work for me?

What is an Internet Forum?

"An Internet forum is a web application for holding discussions and posting user generated content. Internet forums are also commonly referred to as web forums, message boards, discussion boards, (electronic) discussion groups, discussion forums, bulletin boards, fora[1] (the Latin plural) or simply forums. The terms "forum" and "board" may refer to the entire community or to a specific sub-forum dealing with a distinct topic. Messages within these sub-forums are then displayed either in chronological order or as threaded discussions." (Source: Wikipedia )


How can I use Forums as part of my marketing strategy?

By becoming an active forum participant, people will begin to recognize you / your business as an authority, someone interested in the market and interested in helping. You will begin to receive credibility. Having your website domain as part of your profile is key, as this bring visitors to your website, and will create allot of links back to your website from relevant content.

Need a Joomla! website developed by reliable service providers?

Since Joomla! is fast becoming one of the most popular and widely used content management systems around, we are being inundated with requests for website development.  Someone has been going around telling folks that we are "experts" in the Joomla! industry here in South Africa, and further north too, I am told.

Well, we certainly do not have a high opinion of ourselves, however we do know the best in the business, and would love to refer you to a handful of trustworthy, reliable, honest and friendly website service providers whom we have been priviledged to work with over the last five years.

For those who do not know, Slingshot has come to specialise in Joomla! training and suppport, and since there is no shortage of demand for training we simply do not have the time nor the inclination to develop websites ourselves, but prefer to manage entire projects for our clients, connecting them to the right people.  After all, it is not what you know, but who you know that makes all the difference.

So, if you are looking to get a Joomla! website developed quickly and easily (relatively, that is!) without reinventing the thing three times over, head over to our new Request a Quote facility, and submit your project scope / terms of reference, and let our handpicked team respond to you at will.

Here it is: Request a Quote

 
Joomla! Day CAPE TOWN, South Africa

The South African Joomla! community is pleased to invite you to

Joomla! Day CAPE TOWN, South Africa, an event to be held 19 July 2008,
at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology.

Joomla! Days offer an excellent opportunity to learn, network with other Joomla! users and developers, and discover ways to contribute to the Joomla! Project. The South African Joomla! community has been hard at work to ensure that this year's Joomla! Day event is at least as informative and fun as the three previous successful South African events held during 2007.

Slingshot migrates to a Fast, Stable and Reliable Server

 

We are busy migrating all of our hosted email and website clients to a new server, due to ongoing problems with slow web page loading speeds, email delays and delivery issues that have been on the increase of late.

Part of this migration is a separation of website and email hosting, with a move of all email functionality to Google Mail .  This will mean zero server load for email, which will be hosted by Google. The switch will require each email user to update their email settings on your chosen email programme.  Please see the FAQ on this topic for more information.

We are also going to impose restrictions on clients who run the Joomla! CMS , especially related to Emailer extensions such as YANC, Letterman and AcaJoom - these will not be allowed at all, and clients will need to move to off-site emailer solutions, such as Mailchimp, MailerMailer, iContact or SendBlaster (a few that we recommend). 

Please contact us should you need more information about any of these issues.
