Everyone has some kind of talent (although, I admit, some people’s talents aren’t always useful or appreciated, without going into specific details). One of my talents is working with the Mambo and Joomla content managment systems, and the Simple Machines Forum package. But what good is a talent if nobody knows about it? In this […]
