Is your website taking forever to load, while other sites load in an instant? Are you getting a blank page or missing images? If you are waiting over 3 seconds, guess what— you have a major problem.  You can count on your visitors on just giving up and surfing the web to some other site, most likely a competitor website or lost on to facebook untill you get their attention again.

Facebook Page For Your Business Featured
Written by Juanita Aguerrebere
Many business owners ask me "what is the simplest thing I can do online to promote my business ?", and I tell them having a facebook page is essential and free. It is important to note that a  facebook page is for businesses, brands, organizations which is in addition to having a facebook account.  Many businesses have a facebook account or facebook group.  The distinction here is that it is not a facebook page and does not have the like button feature or the ability to integrate into your website with a like box or other social plugins.

How to Add Rokbox to Virtuemart in Joomla 1.5 Featured
Written by Juanita Aguerrebere
Here is a solution to use Rokbox plugin in virturemart for Joomla 1.5. Â Virtuemart is an eccommerce component for Joomla where products can be sold online or viewed as product catalog. Â I have come across a this problem many times where the virtuemart light box just stops working and every time you click on a product image or thumb it takes you to a separate window instead of a light box. Here I will go over how to add the nice lightbox effect using Rokbox plugin.
- Install Rokbox plugin from www.Rocketthemes.com
- Make sure to check the plugin is enabled in your joomla site.
- Edit this file located in your host: administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/htmlTools.class.php
- Find this code section function getLightboxImageLink( $image_link, $text, $title='', $image_group='' )
- Replace it with: function getLightboxImageLink( $image_link, $text, $title='', $image_group='' ) {
vmCommonHTML::loadSlimBox();
if( $image_group ) {
//$image_group = '['.$image_group.']';
$image_group = '('.$image_group.')';
}
//$link = vmCommonHTML::hyperLink( $image_link, $text, '', $title, 'rel="lightbox'.$image_group.'"' );
$link = vmCommonHTML::hyperLink( $image_link, $text, '', $title, 'rel="rokbox[500 500]'.$image_group.'"' );
return $link;
} - If you can not edit files directly in your hosting account. I recommend using filezilla to download, the file where you can edit in Dreamweaver or a simpe text editor and make sure to upload the edited file.
