What is Joomla and what you should know.

Last month we discussed about different types of website including Content Management System, popularly known as CMS. Today we are going to go ahead and discuss about Joomla. Chances are you have already heard about this term, as this is an widely used CMS all over the world. Joomla is an open source content management system meaning it is completely FREE and is also extremely user friendly.

As you would expect from any CMS, Joomla lets you add, edit and remove content from the website from a password protected interface. It even lets you create multiple users so that more than one user can edit the content at the same time from any part of the world. The beauty of the product is that you don’t have to install any software on your local computer as long as the website has been already created. Login into your joomla administrator account is easy as well. All you need to do is, on your browser window, type your website domain followed by a forward slash and then administrator, and press enter.

Image To Text: Descent OCR App

OCR tools comes very handy when we are working with a lot of text that are saved as images. As with any other OCR tools, IMG to Text App is a free iOS app that converts image to text. I have used this app very frequently and I can say that it works incredibly well. I was working on a restaurant website when the client gave me their long menu pages. I was able to scan all the text without any hesitance. Off-course you may need to use inbuilt cropping tool on your iOS device for better results.
