]]> Comment on Getting Australia Online? MYOB Atlas is not the answer by Jodie Miners http://jodiem.com.au/2011/03/26/getting-australia-online-myob-atlas-is-not-the-answer/#comment-5158 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 05:08:29 +0000 http://jodiem.com.au/?p=420#comment-5158 Hi Paul
Thanks for sharing that story. That is a great way for a person who is willing to “do-it-yourself” to get up and running. At least you know now that it is not the answer and you will be moving onto a more suitable platform for your business.

Just one or two small points. If you are paying a monthly fee for Dreamhost you are probably paying for Web Hosting (or Email Hosting) or something other than Domain Hosting, as Domain Hosting is just a flat yearly fee (or 2 years for .com.au). If you are already paying for Web Hosting that is great, you can just set up your WordPress or Joomla on that hosting. You should never need to pay for Email Hosting as you can get Google Apps for Your Domain for free (and you get a lot more than just email). Have a look at my blog posts setting up Community websites where I discuss hosting and Google Apps.

Depending on what you are going to do with your site, I would strongly recommend WordPress – about the only thing I would not consider it for is a full Dell style configure your PC e-commerce site. But anything more basic than that, WordPress can handle it and handle it well.

Your MYOB Atlas site looks great. It looks clean, professional and simple. Taking that approach into your next site will serve you well. Good Luck.

Jodie

Great article (only just found it). Just thought I’d let you know my experience so far with MYOB Atlas.

I’ve just set up my small business under the governments NEIS program after being made redundant. MYOB allows for a very quick method to set up a web presence for virtually $0.00 giving you a .com.au domain and associated advantages (e-mail addresses etc)

I have also got my .COM domain (for free!) from an OZ/US host (Dreamhost) which is currently redirected to the MYOB .com.au. This means I can now work on my full website at leisure, whilst maintaining a web presence and I have both .com and .com.au domains for nothing (I do pay $5.00/month to host the .com)

As you note with MYOB Atlas there are no SEO tools, and very limited options for e-commerce or additional pages, which as my business and ideas grow is becoming increasingly frustrating!

As a low cost stop gap measure, it has given me a free domain and hosting, and a website that took 2hrs to set up. This has given me the valuable time to get my head around WordPress, Joomla, SEO, etc, etc and design my full site, and IMHO been brilliant for my brand-new small business.

So hats off and my thanks to Google and MYOB, for this excellent tool that has got me started, but its huge limitations means I will soon be transferring to bigger and better sites.
(it does allow you to set a redirect to another domain)

Keep up the good work, us new small business owners need all the help we can get!

]]> Comment on Building a Glossary in Confluence by Jodie Miners http://jodiem.com.au/2011/08/13/building-a-glossary-in-confluence/#comment-5154 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:02:17 +0000 http://jodiem.com.au/?p=474#comment-5154 @thijs No, I don’t think that ALL plugins will upgrade to Confluence 4, and the fact that more haven’t upgraded yet is a bit worrying. C4 is a brand new paradigm and it will mean a shift in thinking for a lot of plugins. If you look at this list https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/masterlist and sort by Version Number Desc, it looks like there are a lot of plugins that are on C4 already. But look a little further, at the big names of plugin vendors such as Customware, Adaptavist, Appfusions etc and see that there are still a few big ones that are not at C4 yet.

Adaptavist has a page here, and it looks like most of theirs are in beta already, which is great. http://www.adaptavist.com/display/Plugins/2011/09/23/Adaptavist+plugins+and+Confluence+4+-+Introducing+our+EAP
Customware say Reporting and Scaffolding are coming soon http://www.customware.net/store/confluence/reporting_plugin.html but they are now charged, rather than free by the looks :( .
Appfusions at least seem to have most on C4 at the moment.

However, it’s always the little plugin that you have found that does one critical thing in your site, that will probably stop you from upgrading.

And don’t even get me started on there being NO plugins allowed on Confluence On Demand except for the very few that they deem suitable http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Atlassian+OnDemand+Plugin+Policy :(

I am curious. Why do you think that many plugins will never be upgraded to support Confluence 4?

]]> Comment on Building a Glossary in Confluence by Jodie Miners http://jodiem.com.au/2011/08/13/building-a-glossary-in-confluence/#comment-5152 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 03:46:23 +0000 http://jodiem.com.au/?p=474#comment-5152 Unfortunately the User Macro will not work as it is in Confluence 4 as it is dependant on the Multi Excerpt Plugin https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/169 and that is not (yet) upgraded to support Confluence 4. (There are many plugins that probably will never be upgraded).

So I think this would need a complete re-think from scratch in Confluence 4. If you do work it out, then let us know. If I ever get a chance to play with Confluence 4 I may re-look at this then.

The is Latest 4.1. I am completely new to Confluence and will like to see how to add the User Macro in 4.1. If you can help me with this, it will be of great help.
