Joomla Vs Drupal



At CXI we started exploring more information on open source CMS. Joomla and Drupal were the leading contenders. Which one to choose was the major dillema like all developers. 

I started googling about it came across interesting facts for both of it.

Then, I thought of using Google Trends and found this interesting fact about it. We can analyse the graph by saying Joomla has more users then Drupal. 

Would like to hear from you on this.

SEO - Flash Related Tip

Flash
Google can now discover and index text content in SWF files of all kinds, including self-contained Flash websites and Flash gadgets such as buttons or menus.

limitations:
    • Googlebot does not execute some types of JavaScript. If your webpage uses JavaScript to load a Flash file, we may not be able to discover and index the contents of that file.
    • We currently do not attach content from external resources that are loaded by your Flash files. If your Flash file loads another file - such as an HTML file, an XML file, or another SWF file - we may index the contents of those files, but we won't consider that content to be part of the content in your Flash files.
    • We're currently unable to index the bidirectional language content (for example, Hebrew or Arabic) in Flash files.

        You could also consider using sIFR (Scalable Inman Flash Replacement)sIFR (an open-source project) lets webmasters replace text elements with Flash equivalents. Using this technique, content and navigation is displayed by an embedded Flash object but, because the content is contained in the HTML source, it can be read by non-Flash users (including search engines).
