You can create a demo website here for free! http://demo.joomla.org/

I will review some new features this week so keep on coming to our website.

Due to various bugs and viruses out there. I would like to suggest to do the following for your Joomla sites's health:

1. Create a new user for the super admin - dont use default user Id no. 62. Create another one - use no. 62 is regularly hacked into.

2. Password should be of a random one. DONT USE webiste2010 for a password it is too comon use something like '90ApleSa'

3. Backup your website with the most amazing FREE software in the market. No other Open Source CMS has something like this. I am talking about Akeeba.

It zips up all the files, images, templates, users, content, videos - everything for the website to one ZIP file.

See the Akeeba demo video here
