I'm off to Vancouver tonight and I'll be taking my wife, so in addition to going to JoomlaDay Canada, I'll have a couple of days vacation. The new Vancouver.com is incredible and its really whetted my appetite for a day or two off in such a beautiful city.

Posting will be light so I thought I'd post a short round-up of whats going on:

Alledia News

• Our webdesign porfolio is back online.
• The Joomla SEO class is on for the end of July in Atlanta.
• We've upgraded to Community Builder 1.2 ... it really, really rocks.

Things I Don't Understand

• Why do so many people put Adsense on their business sites? Rivals can go right ahead and buy those ads, stealing the customers. When was the last time Walmart hung a big banner for Target inside their stores?

More Weird Google Search Results

• After creating search result pages to index, Google is now indexing potential Fireboard replies, complete with a quote from a previous poster. Just click "Submit" and you're done. This is a spammers delight. TURN OFF PUBLIC POSTING ON FIREBOARD!

Joomla Security

• Russ Winter from the Joomla forums has a great video and PDF on securing Joomla sites.
• Be thankful you don't use WordPress more often.

Joomla in the News

• Joomla gets praise at Information Week.
