Change Joomla Can Believe In
Written by Steve Burge

Joomla.org has a new template today. The design looks a little similar to the website of another emerging new force in the United States.

It's also interesting to note that the ! has been dropped from most uses on the homepage, something most books and blogs have done for a while.

I like the look of the new site - looks clean and efficient!

Personally I think Joomla can live without the ! !

Hey Dave - I changed that wording to make it a little clearer.

I'd probably actually vote for Obama if I could ... unfortunately, I'm just a "resident alien" as my green card so nicely puts it.

Overall design is pretty good, I like it.

...perhaps Joomla is feeling god-like now, too, thus the copycat template of the self-proclaimed messiah. :-)

Nonetheless, I welcome any facelift given to the old site, which has long been showing its age. Any word on when the entire site will migrate, to include a new forum template that is much-needed?

I love the new look too. It's a very clean design.

Nice link, Mark

Background images for the two sites:

There are more differences than similarities between the designs, however. Even John McCain has taken some elements of the Obama design: johnmccain.com/

Maybe everyone's having a look at the new template but a much, much slower response time for me.
