After putting it off for months, I’ve finally switched over Studio Moqa to Joomla! (from Mambo). I’m using Joomla! 1.0.11 Stable (Sunbow), and liking it a lot so far.

The Joomla! backend shows the most improvement — slicker interface, with some changes made to make navigation, editing and content creation more intuitive, and faster (fewer clicks).

I also finally wrote a template from scratch. All CSS, no styling in the index.php file, it’s all in the template_css.css, the way it should be. Decided to go for a minimalist look, for my first template, but I expect to build on it in the coming months, and probably showcase several templates using the Joomla! template-switcher module.
