Sometimes it’s the little things that make us happiest, and for Joomla! webmasters, there’s so many little things to make you happy!

• Save & New, Save & Copy: Joomla! 1.6 is all about efficiency, including how long it takes you to create new content! With the new options to “Save & Create New” applied to content editing, adding content to your site just got easier … and faster!
• Module Assignment: Joomla! 1.6 makes it easy for Webmasters to pinpoint their content even more with the added features to module positioning. With the new ability to publish on “All Pages Except Selected”, getting your content where you want it is a lot easier.
• Joomla! remembers where you were: Ever edit article number 45 in your article manager and save it only to have to flip back through the pages to get back to it? Joomla! 1.6 puts an end to that! Joomla! now remembers where you were and saves your place for you!
• Media Manager improvements: Joomla! 1.6 brings major improvements to Joomla!’s media manager. A flash based uploader makes things easier, and the ability for users to upload multiple files at one time makes life easier, and, needless to say, saves you a lot of time in uploading your media to Joomla!
• Installer improvements: One of the biggest hassles for Joomla! webmasters was the process needed to update 3rd party components. With Joomla! 1.6, problems gone! Joomla! now has an update interface allowing Webmasters to update their components to current versions with just a couple clicks!
• Redirect component: With the addition of the Core Redirect Component, Joomla! saves you a headache by allowing you to automatically redirect old links to new pages, and saves your visitors an eyesore and hassle by keeping them away from the “404 Page Not Found” and getting them right where they need to go!
• SEO features: With the new SEO features in Joomla! 1.6, creating custom Meta descriptions for categories, and added flexibility for title and descriptions in articles and pages is now possible! Worried about your websites rankings or usability? Use some of these added tools to give you a boost!
• Template styles: Sick of being stuck to whatever your template allows? Joomla! 1.6 offers a whole new world of versatility by allowing Webmasters to create Template Styles. Pretty much, you can easily clone your template to apply custom changes or edits to it, and then assign it to specific menu items to create unique pages!
• Assign modules and templates within a menu item: Joomla! 1.6 extends the ability for Webmasters to present their content where they want it, how they want it. With the ability to easily select the template and template style right from the menu interface, Joomla! saves you time, and makes presenting your content a breeze!
• Translation now has more effective pluralization support: “One Foot, Two Foot ...” simple language differences like presenting plural words typically plagued Joomla! websites with its limited ability to handle plurality across languages leaving Joomla! interfaces riddles with Dr. Seuss references from books long forgotten. No More! With Joomla! 1.6, improved language features present the user with a wider array of options for language support.
