Voxel is the name of the May template release by popular provider RocketTheme. It includes a flexible layout which would be perfect for a magazine site.

Popular Joomla template club, RocketTheme, has made available their February template release, Clarion. The developers describe the new template as, "a subtle theme, primed for business use or as a platform for extensive individual customization."

Clarion is built on Gantry, RocketTheme's template framework, which provides an extensively customizeable back end control panel. RocketTheme is providing both 1.5 and 2.5 versions of this new template.

The Alliance for Catholic Education, or ACE, was featured recently in the Joomla! Community Showcase for its creative use of some core Joomla features as well as the integration of third party resources. Ricky Austin, the organization’s Assistant Director, is listed as the creator of this multi-faceted solution that uses Joomla 1.7 to manage a network of 12 separate but very connected sites, all of which share one instance of Joomla and one database. With this method, they are able to maintain consistency visually throughout the network of independent websites, as well as share all of the features built into the single Joomla instance.
