Joomla! Community Magazine™

The JCM Team is proud to present you the September Issue of the Joomla! Community Magazine.

In this tutorial I will be building on the full screen home page design that I demonstrated in last month's tutorial How to create a full screen photograph home page to create a more native app look to the template.

EPISODE V: T3, Extendible TM, GK, YT & Plazart Frameworks
