Many early podcasts were limited to feeds by and for computer gurus, since podcasting required a significant amount of technical expertise. Once iTunes started supporting podcast feeds and opened up a directory, more casual computer users and music lovers started subscribing to podcasts. Today, simple software running on many web hosting servers allows anyone to distribute a podcast.

Joomla is a free, open source content management system that allows people to manage their own websites without requiring a lot of technical knowledge. All you need to maintain a website using Joomla is a web host that supports the software and a web browser. Many web hosts will even install the Joomla software for you as part of your web hosting package.

One of the strategies for making lots of money with AdSense is so obvious that it rarely gets mentioned: build lots of Web pages.

That’s pretty obvious, right? The more Web pages you have, the more opportunity you’ll have to show ads -- and the more clicks you’ll get.

And yet a lot of AdSense sites on the Web are fairly small, just a few pages with ads on each.

Joomla is a very powerful web site design software tool. This program is an open source code, so there is no charge for acquiring and using the software. Now that, you must admit, is a tremendous deal. You will surely agree after you take some time and review Joomla.

It is almost unbelievable, if not ludicrous and irrational, that the developers of this software freely give it away. But, that is the impetus behind open source code- to share with the public. Truely a design to help empower those that do not have the financial wherewithal to acquire high end software and compete with large corporations.
