JoomStew Radio – August 4, 2010 – Design Trends

This week's JoomStew Radio is the first broadcast that was pre-recorded due to the time differences of our guests. We thought it was the perfect opportunity to move the show away from Blog Talk Radio and keep the show hosted right here on the JoomStew Blog so you don't have to go anywhere else!

What sparked the idea for this week's topic on Design Trends was an article that Anthony Olsen published in the July issue of the Joomla Community Magazine entitled Joomla Template Design Trends in 2010.

Our Guests:

Anthony Olsen of Joomla Bamboo
Jon Lackey of Zuno Studios
Matt Lipscomb of USA Freelancers
