You may have noticed that when you copy content and paste it into the back-end of Joomla!, it also copies the formatting of the content. This can cause inconsistencies with the rest of the content on your site.
To avoid this you must first strip any formatting from the content before pasting it into the back-end of Joomla! To do this, just follow these steps:
- Open a plain text editor (you can use TextEdit on a Mac or Notepad on a PC).
- Paste the content into the plain text editor. You should see that all of the formatting has been removed.
- Copy the content in the plain text editor and paste it into the back-end of Joomla!.
- Reapply any styles that are needed, such as bold or italics, using the buttons in the editor in the back-end of Joomla!.
- Save the changes and view the article on your site.

We finally have built ourselves a new website! We have been so busy working on client websites, ours got pretty neglected. We are planning on adding many new features that will help our clients and our company alike.
We will be adding live support chat, customer portal, tutorials, and a support ticket system... so check back soon! Please leave us feedback on what you think about the new site and any suggestions you may have on how we can make it better.

Here is a screencast I made on creating a single page in Photoshop and how to slice it. This is the first screencast in a series. Later in part 2 I am going to show you how to take the sliced up image and create a HTML and CSS page out of it. In part 3 I will show you how to take the HTML and CSS page and turn it into a template for Joomla! and WordPress.
Check back in the coming weeks for the rest of the screencasts in this series.

I recently purchased the MacHeist bundle priced at $49.00 because I needed a copy of Snapz Pro X which was included. By itself Snapz Pro X runs $69.00 so this was a steal. I decided I would try out some of the other software that came in the bundle and found CSSEdit. As soon as CSSEdit opened I could tell it was meant to be.
CSSEdit takes the pain out of CSS. I usually use google to lookup CSS properties I don’t have memorized. With the full featured sidebar built into CSSEdit you will find yourself building complex styles in minutes and learning many of the CSS properties it generates in the process.
This was the final blow to Dreamweaver which I don’t use at all now. Between CSSEdit and TextMate I have everything I need to turn my image slices into fully functional websites.
